Italian metallurgist from 1480 to 1539. Born in Siena. His father is said to have been an architect. He traveled throughout Germany and Italy, acquiring knowledge of various technologies, especially metallurgy, and directed the manufacture and casting of weapons in Venice, Florence, Rome, and other places. Biringuccio's only book, Pirotechnia, is one of the most representative metallurgical books of the 16th century, along with Agricola's De re Metallica. It consists of 10 volumes, and covers a wide range of topics, starting with how to extract metals by melting ores, how to separate gold and silver, alloys, how to cast bronze (it describes in detail how to cast cannons, which had a great influence on military technology thereafter), coinage, type casting, plating, gunpowder and firearms.
