who awoke too early in the darkness
while the others were all still asleep»

Sigmund Freud

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) has untoubtedly been the great protagonist of the Renaissance. A full and complete genius, for his work did not limit itself to art but covered innumerable fields: from physics to anatomy, from mechanics to astronomy.  Leonardo has left us an impressive amount of drawings and drafts that foresee many inventions of our time.

leonardo6.jpg Leonardo was a passionate artist, scientist, researcher and inventor, whose works still fascinate today’s artists and scientists.  The aim of the exhibition is to document the genius of the inventor-engineer.

leonardo1.jpg The exhibition is unique; its creators - scientists, industrial designers and craftsmen - have recreated precise models of Leonardo’s inventions. The exhibition contains more than 50 exhibits: flying machines, water devices, war machines, bridges, work machines and reproductions of his paintings.

The exhibition has been created by L’Associazione ANTHROPOS
