Friends, here we are again! Today we are talking about a beautiful exhibition that will be held until 07.15.25 in the Antisala dei Baroni of Maschio Angioino (*) in Naples (ask at the ticket office to be accompanied to the accessible path).

This is the exhibition LEONARDO DA VINCI. EXHIBITION OF THE INTERACTIVE MACHINES, dedicated to the reproduction of models taken from Leonardo da Vinci's Codices, with particular attention to his innovations in the field of mechanics.

The exhibition presents unique and interactive pieces, made with fine woods from Casentino in Tuscany, a land of inspiration for the Genius of the Renaissance.

The exhibition explores his studies on flight, war and hydraulics, allowing visitors to admire faithful reconstructions of Leonardo's most important inventions.
