To mark the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death, the temporary exhibition Leonardo da Vinci Parade, curated and organized by the National Museum of Science and Technology, showcases a rich selection of spectacular models created in the 1950s based on Leonardo’s drawings and frescoes by 16th-century Lombard painters, loaned in 1952 by the Pinacoteca di Brera, then directed by Fernanda Wittgens. Alongside the machines are models of military and civil architecture in plaster and terracotta, restored in recent years and not seen in public for some time.
