Topographic hill profile near Florence: l'Incontro
Red-chalk survey study of a wooded ridge, one hill labelled l'Incontro
A faint red-chalk drawing showing the profile of a long wooded ridge rising over a river valley, drawn as a topographic study of the hill country south-east of Florence. Near the centre of the ridge a small mirror-script label reads l'Incontro, identifying the locality of Monte all'Incontro. The sheet belongs to the group of landscape profiles connected with Leonardo's survey of the Arno valley. Additional faint place-labels in mirror script appear on the sheet beyond the single word transcribed here.

Place-name l'Incontro marking a hill on the ridge
A short label placed in the middle of the drawn ridge names the locality l'Incontro (Monte all'Incontro), fixing a real point in the hills south-east of Florence. Such named points turn the landscape profile into a topographic survey record rather than a pure view.
Further untranscribed place-labels along the profile
Besides the transcribed word, other small mirror-script labels are written along the drawn hills, apparently naming additional localities of the survey. These are not included in the bundle text and are noted here only from what is visible on the sheet.
