Alberti.
Italian family of artists. They came from Borgo San Sepolcro (now Sansepolcro, Tuscany), a town set on one of the crossroads between Tuscany, the Marches and Umbria, and flourished primarily in the 16th century, when the family workshop grew in size and several members achieved prominence in the visual arts. Alberto [Berto III] Alberti (b 2 June 1525; d 1598) worked in Borgo San Sepolcro and Rome primarily as a wood-carver but also as a painter, military engineer and cartographer, and left detailed diaries and account books covering 50 years of his family’s activities.
