The Milan of Leonardo da Vinci, in the footsteps of the great genius

An unusual city itinerary

But thecultural itinerary continues to other prestigious Vincian works housed in the city. So here we are at the Castello Sforzesco, where Leonardo painted the splendid vault of the Sala delle Asse and where today the Codex Trivulzianus, one of the many vincian manuscripts preserved all over the world, is kept. Leonardo da Vinci in Milan does not end there. After a lunch at the foot of the Madunina, we will continue our guided tour of Leonardo’s Milan to the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana. In theLeonardi Hall and in the Federiciana Hall are in fact preserved the portrait of the Musico and the Codex Atlanticus, the largest and most astonishing collection of Leonardo Da Vinci’s sheets of drawings and writings.
And right on the heels of his scientific sketches, we recommend that you continue with a guided tour of Milan’s Museum of Science and Technology, named after Leonardo Da Vinci himself.
Here, in the very recent Leonardo da Vinci Galleries exhibition project, you will find technical drawings by the Tuscan artist, historical models, machines, works of art, and more modern installations. A unique way to enter the world of Leonardo the engineer and scientist.

Leonardo’s greatest contribution to Milan: the Navigli

Finally, it should be remembered that Leonardo Da Vinci in Milan made a fundamental contribution to the development of the locks on the Milanese Navigli, an intricate hydraulic system that today you can see in operation with your own eyes by organizing a separate tour aboard our motorboat Corsaro dei Navigli, the only vehicle capable of crossing the Conchetta del Naviglio Pavese. Lots and lots more there would be to discover in Milan in the footsteps of Leonardo da Vinci, on a truly fascinating journey through the great masterpieces of the artist who was a guest of the Sforza court.
