Line 9: Guidobaldo studied [[mathematics]] at the [[University of Padua]] in 1564. While there he became a friend of the great Italian poet [[Torquato Tasso]]. In fact Guidobaldo may have known Tasso before they studied at Padua together, for Tasso was almost exactly the same age as Guidobaldo and had been educated at the court of the Duke of Urbino, with the duke's son, from 1556. Guidobaldo then served as a soldier in the ensuing conflict in [[Hungary]] between the [[Habsburg ~~Monarchy~~monarchy\|Habsburg Empire]] and the [[Ottoman Empire]]. After serving in the army, Guidobaldo returned to his estate of (Monte Baroccio) [[Mombaroccio]] in the [[Marche]], where he was able to spend his time doing research into mathematics, [[mechanics]], [[astronomy]] and [[optics]]. He studied mathematics under [[Federico Commandino]] during this period and became one of his most staunch disciples. He also became a friend of [[Bernardino Baldi]], who was also a student of Commandino around the same time. He corresponded with several mathematicians including [[Giacomo Contarini]], [[Francesco Barozzi]] and [[Galileo Galilei]]. His invention of a [[Technical drawing\|drafting]] instrument for constructing regular [[polygon]]s and dividing a line into any number of segments was incorporated as a feature of Galileo's geometric and military [[compass]].
