«Leonardo da Vinci was like a man
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.
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.
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
