Leonardo's passage through Romagna in 1502 left significant traces in his graphic production, including the codex L and the celebrated map of Imola now at Windsor Castle. These records reveal his direct involvement in the political and military affairs of the region, as shown by the well-known concession letter issued to him by Cesare Borgia in 1502. The chapter presents a critical reexamination of the principal interventions to the fortifications of Cesena between 1502 and 1503, which were the focus of Leonardo's observations during his stay when Cesare Borgia tried to transform it into the capital of his ephemeral duchy.

Genova 1746-1748 presents a complete historical picture of the siege of Genoa by the combined Imperial and Piedmontese armies during the War of the Austrian Succession. There is particular focus on the events, key characters of the siege and urban fortifications of Genoa, but above all it studies the field fortifications built by both the besiegers and defenders along the hills surrounding the city. This is the first comprehensive review of these artifacts, which is the result of many years of extensive surveys carried out on the territory by the author. Included are nearly three hundred photos, maps, drawings and models. The volume confirms the fundamental function that military archaeology plays alongside traditional historical study to reconstruct the contexts and appearance of the environment in which the historical events occurred, giving them a real location in the current territories".
