INSPIRATION: Inspired by the architect Leon Battista Alberti (1404 – 1472), perhaps the most influential figure
in the history of Renaissance architecture, follows the dictates of the architect who identifies in the
proportion the mathematical and geometric tool that allows you to determine spaces and
elements in relation to the whole.
DESCRIPTION:


Front: the rectangular but not angular shape features the metal bridge, decorated as
the temples, which fit into the grooves above the lenses. Thanks to four slots
in acetate it is possible, by means of appropriate screws, to adjust the bridge for a fit that suits
to different nose shapes.
Temples: “book” model, made of horizontally grooved metal that simulates pages
of a book.


Soul: visible from the outside in antique gold or antique silver colour, has the decoration
scale reproduction of the fluted pilasters of the church of the Certosa di San Martino in Naples.
(17th century).
PERSONALITY: The Alberti model, with its geometric and proportionate shape, is suitable for
“square” and self-confident people, with great moral strength and capable of bearing with balance
and dignity adverse fate, thanks to a balanced and rational mind that allows you to have a
broad and global vision of the problems to be faced and solved.
