The present article seeks to provide an overview of the general characteristics of the cultural and scientific climate in the Duchy of Urbino. Three of the Duchy's milieus seem to have been particularly important for scholars who were engaged in the study of mathematics: the so-called School of Urbino, the environment of the court, and the world of the technicians and engineers. While the Urbino School has already been the object of previous studies, the other two milieus and their effect on the mathematicians' work have been rather neglected and are, consequently, addressed here. The paper's final section presents some documents that attest the importance of Renaissance scholars' interaction with these environments to their actual scientific activity, taking the case of Guidobaldo dal Monte as an example.
