Francesco Feliciano De Scolari, also known as “Francesco Lazesio” or simply Lazisio (or Lasezio) in his native Lazise, a master of mathematics and expert surveyor who worked in Verona and other parts of the Italian peninsula in the late fifteenth and the first half of the sixteenth century, owes his popularity mainly to the famous treatise known by its original title, “Scala Grimaldelli”. Possessing a wide range of technical skills, he covered many aspects of the engineering disciplines in his work. In addition to some brief biographical notes, this study will explain a few salient aspects of his published works, with particular attention to the use of the “surveyor’s cross”, which is described for the first time in print.
