"Malta besieged by the Infidel" is a notable section within the seminal work "Della Architettura Militare" authored by Francesco de Marchi, an eminent Italian military engineer and architect of the Renaissance period. Published in 1599, "Della Architettura Militare" is a comprehensive treatise on military architecture, fortifications, and siege warfare, reflecting the advanced military engineering knowledge of its time. Francesco de Marchi, who served various Italian states and was deeply involved in the design and construction of fortifications, brought his extensive practical experience to bear in this work.

The section "Malta besieged by the Infidel" specifically delves into the dramatic and historically significant Siege of Malta in 1565. This siege was a pivotal conflict between the Ottoman Empire, led by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, and the Knights Hospitaller, who were defending the island of Malta. The siege is renowned for its intensity and the strategic importance of Malta as a bastion of Christian Europe against Ottoman expansion.

De Marchi's account provides a detailed analysis of the fortifications of Malta, the tactics employed by both the besiegers and the defenders, and the broader implications of the siege for military strategy and architecture. His work is distinguished by its meticulous attention to the technical aspects of fortification design, including the construction of bastions, walls, and other defensive structures, as well as the use of artillery and other siege technologies.

"Della Architettura Militare" and its section on the Siege of Malta are invaluable resources for historians and military scholars, offering insights into the evolution of military engineering during the Renaissance. De Marchi's observations and recommendations influenced subsequent developments in fortification design and remain a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the defenders of Malta during one of the most famous sieges in history.
