Leon Battista Alberti Leon Battista Alberti (] ; February 18, 1404 – April 25, 1472) was an Italian humanist author, artist, architect, poet, priest, linguist, philosopher and cryptographer; he epitomised the Renaissance Man. Although he is often characterized exclusively as an architect, as James Beck has observed, "to single out one of Leon Battista's 'fields' over others as somehow functionally independent and self-sufficient is of no help at all to any effort to characterize Alberti's extensive explorations in the fine arts." Although Alberti is known mostly for being an artist, he was also a mathematician of many sorts and made great advances to this field during the 15th century. Alberti's life was described in Giorgio Vasari's "Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects.

Antonio Pucci (poet) Antonio Pucci (c. 1310 – 1388) was a Florentine bellfounder, self-taught as a versifier, who wrote his collection, "Libro di varie storie" ("Book of Various Tales"), using a popular dialect for a popular audience. In his "Centiloquio" he set out in terzinas ninety-one cantos' worth of chronicle from Giovanni Villani's "Cronaca." In "Le proprietà di Mercato Vecchio" he praised, again in terzinas, the incomparable street life of Florence's crowded market piazza. In poems he could blame or praise women with equal force, a favorite medieval trope. He composed "cantari" in the eight-line stanzas called "ottava rima," telling the subjects of courtly romance in a fast-paced narrative, with an undertone of subversive populist skepticism that undercut the very conventions that the stories embraced, full of vivid contemporary color and pious sentiment, and perhaps he declaimed them in the public squares: "La Reina d'Oriente", "Gismirante", "Apollonio di Tiro," "Brito di Brettagna", "Madonna Lionessa."

Giovanni Botero Giovanni Botero (c. 1544 – 1617) was an Italian thinker, priest, poet, and diplomat, best known for his work " Della ragion di Stato (The Reason of State)". In this work, Botero argued against the amoral political philosophy associated with Niccolò Machiavelli's "The Prince", not only because it lacked a Christian foundation but also because it simply did not work. Basing his political and economic ideas primarily on the thought of Thomas Aquinas, Botero argued for a more sophisticated relationship between princes and their subjects, one that would give the people more power in the political and economic matters of the state. In this way, Botero foreshadowed the thought of later liberal thinkers, such as John Locke and Adam Smith.

Raphael Regius Raphael Regius (or Raffaele Regio) (c. 1440 – 1520) was a Venetian humanist, who was active first in Padua, where he made a reputation as one of the outstanding Classical scholars, then in Venice, where he moved in the periphery of an elite group composed of a handful of publicly sanctioned scholars, salaried lecturers employed by the Serenissima itself: on the fringes of this elite world also moved the scholar-printer Aldus Manutius (Lowry 1979). The most famous achievement of Regius is his demonstration that the "Rhetorica ad C. Herennium", or "Rhetorica secunda", was not written by Cicero, a milestone in the development of textual criticism. His bitter rivalry with other scholars and scorn for the ""semidocti"" reflect familiar competitive strains in the sometimes vituperative temper of Renaissance humanism.
