He also authored a treatise in 1593, commissioned by Ferdinand I, on the mathematical and surveying instruments in the Guardaroba Medicea collection. His monumental armillary spheres are famous. One sphere, made in 1582 for King Philip II of Spain, is now at the Escorial in Madrid; the other, the most famous Santucci's Armillary Sphere, built in 1588–1593 for the in the Uffizi, is now at the Museo Galileo of Florence.
