Guidobaldo del Monte, born at Pesaro on 11 January 1545 and dead on 6 January 1607, was an Italian mathematician, philosopher and astronomer who held the title Marquis del Monte. His father Ranieri, a soldier and author of two books on military architecture, had been honoured with the title by the Duke of Urbino. Guidobaldo studied mathematics at the University of Padua from 1564, where he became a friend of the poet Torquato Tasso, served as a soldier in the conflict in Hungary between the Habsburg and Ottoman empires, and then withdrew to his estate at Mombaroccio in the Marche to research mathematics, mechanics, astronomy and optics. There he studied mathematics under Federico Commandino and became one of his most staunch disciples.
