And Mathematics

The architecture of Guarini is distinguished from that of his Roman contemporaries by the complex geometries of his forms and the use of conic sections in his vaults. The use of advanced geometries in his domed churches was prompted not by numeric or structural theory but by optic considerations. The development of forced perspective in his vault shapes and use of light were influenced by theories on aesthetics and optics that were debated while Guarini was in Paris. The parallels between Guarini's architectural theory and that of Claude Perrault, as well as Guarini's unique aesthetic assessment of Gothic architecture, suggest that he developed these ideas during his four-year stay in Paris.

In the fifteenth century, Guarino Guarini, Ludovico Carbone, Francesco Filelfo, and other humanists composed and delivered Latin orations at courtly weddings in Ferrara, Naples, and Milan. In these epithalatmia, which are mostly unpublished, orators adapt a classically inspired conception of marriage to Italian court culture. They defend physical beauty and sexual pleasure, praise learned brides, and assert the importance of mutual affection, revealing a complex picture of ideal gender relations in courts. Against the ancient and Christian anti-marriage ascetic traditions, humanists offer biblical, philosophical, political, economic, and hedonistic arguments in defense of marriage.
