摘要：Ambrosio Borsano was one of the main European military engineers in the second half of the seventeenth century This article examines a key period in his life for which references are limited and dispersed: his training as a military cartographer. We begin by trying to solve the issue regarding his birth and the family context in Milan where he was educated. Next, we consider his military activities in the north of Italy between 1648 and 1658. During these activities, he met Gaspare Beretta, chief engineer of the Spanish army in the State of Milan, who would finally become his teacher. We go on to to analyse the training he received as Beretta’s military cartographer and place it in the framework of the Milan Military Engineering School. The article concludes with the final episode in his training when he moved to the Iberian Peninsula in 1661 to fight against the Portuguese independence movement.
