Discover Milan and The Work & History of Leonardo Da Vinci \u2013 <\/strong><\/em>We are just a few weeks away from two of the most popular and prestigious design events of the year:\u00a0Milan Design Week and<\/strong>\u00a0The Salone del Mobile.Milano<\/strong>. As we\u2019ve mentioned before, PullCast will be present<\/a>\u00a0at both popular Design Events and soon we will tell you where you\u2019ll be able to find us!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0\u00a0Decorative Hardware Agenda: Salone del Mobile.Milano 2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n But in this article, we\u2019ll focus on this year\u2019s theme of both events: The Tribute to Leonardo Da Vinci\u2019s Work and Life.<\/strong> This tribute happens in the same year\u00a0that signifies the 500th Anniversary of his Death. It\u2019s a\u00a0daring but important concept that will likely put the 58th edition of the biggest\u00a0design event<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0in Europe on the map for the ages.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n LEONARDO DA VINCI\u2019S TRIBUTE AT SALONE DEL MOBILE.MILANO<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The great master painter Leonardo da Vinci<\/strong>\u00a0is recognized nowadays as one of the biggest artists of all time! For that reason, Salone del Mobile and Milan will pay tribute to his work with two outstanding and hugely evocative installations at Fiera Milano that will utterly provide to you the most memorable and cultural experience.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The organization of\u00a0Salone del Mobile<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0has chosen the relationship between Da Vinci, Milan and Water for the theme of one of the exhibitions! The first exhibition is therefore called \u201cAQUA\u201d, and celebrates the originality and visionary mind of Da Vinci\u2019s studies and work and, of course, it\u2019s connected to one of his greatest works in the region of Milan:\u00a0The Naviglio Grande<\/strong>!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s obvious for those who know Milan and Da Vinci\u2019s work that you\u2019ll be able to find this exhibition at historical\u00a0Conca dell\u2019Incoronata, a former water canal of Milan whose construction was planned by Da Vinci himself during his work on another one of his great works: The Naviglio Grande<\/strong>! The\u00a0Conca dell\u2019Incoronata <\/em>was decommissioned in 1930, <\/em>but from 1496 to 1929 was considered one of the main sources of natural water of Milan.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The historical Conca will be completely transformed for this exhibition! The site will be covered over with an architectural insert in the form of a great expanse of water, on the edge of which a huge LED screen will become a window onto a future Milan, showing a skyline that changes according to the time of day. Beneath this structure, inside the canal itself, a\u00a0wunderkammer<\/em>\u00a0(cabinet of curiosities) will be created, where visitors can experience all the beauty, energy and shape of water, enfolded in image and sound thanks to the use of cutting-edge technology, in a totally self-contained environment<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAQUA, Leonardo\u2019s Vision\u201d<\/strong> \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The second exhibition is at the fairgrounds of Salone del Mobile.Milano, more specifically at Pavilion 24 of Fiera Milan and it\u2019s called DE-SIGNO. The main goal of this stellar exhibition is to honor the art of the\u00a0Italian Design and Da Vinci\u2019s Artistic Work. <\/strong>It explores the awesomeness of the\u00a0Made in Italy\u00a0design products and craftsmanship, comparing it from the furniture made during the times of the great Master to the present day, compiling all the stunning\u00a0contemporary design\u00a0we\u2019re all so used to see at\u00a0Salone del Mobile<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cDE-SIGNO\u201d<\/strong> \u00a0<\/p>\n HISTORICAL LEONARDO DA VINCI\u2019S TOUR IN MILAN<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Milan was one of Da Vinci\u2019s favourite City, only next to Florence. He made this city his home for many years and he helped shape the cultural, architectural and artistic vision of this incredible and historical town! He lived 18 Years in the City and, during this time, he painted some of his most recognized and accomplished works of art, namely the iconic painting of \u201cLast Supper\u201d and helped develop the Naviglio Grande that, till this day, remains as the top water canal of the Lombardia Region.<\/p>\n Till this day, precious traces of Leonardo da Vinci\u00a0\u2013\u00a0architect, engineer, inventor, scientist, artist \u2013 are still scattered around the city, and today you can still walk through some of the places that Da Vinci also visited 500 years ago. So between amazing Historical Places and popular sites where you can find Da Vinci\u2019s work,\u00a0 you\u2019ll find everything you must visit in Milan\u00a0in this Da Vinci\u2019s Milanese Guide<\/p>\n Nex to the iconic \u201cMona Lisa\u201d painting, that\u2019s currently on exhibition at the Louvre Museum in Paris, the \u201cLast Supper\u201d<\/strong> it\u2019s one of the main paintings of Da Vinci\u2019s legacy. Today you can see this amazing masterpiece in Milan, namely at\u00a0the iconic\u00a0Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie,\u00a0<\/strong>that\u2019s been the Home of this Masterpiece for decades.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Another relic of Leonardo Da Vinci that\u2019s still in exhibition in Milan is the Atlantic Code!\u00a0<\/strong>For those who don\u2019t know, the Atlantic Code is\u00a0the corpus of Leonardo\u2019s autograph manuscripts and is so called because of the size of its sheets, used at that time for the geographical atlases. This relic includes a series of sketches, preparatory drawings for paintings, mathematical calculations, philosophical meditations and even recipes. It\u2019s a real journey through time and the ingenious mind of Leonardo da Vinci that\u2019s currently in exhibition at the Ambrosiana Art Gallery.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n If you want to visit a Sanctuary dedicated to Leonardo Da Vinci\u2019s work and life, then we highly recommend you pay a visit to the Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s Museum of Science and Technology.<\/strong> Besides being a true Milanese classic, a trip to this Museum will allow you to discover and admire Leonardo\u2019s drawings and projects, and to try to make scale models work from the projects of his inventions. It\u2019s at this incredible museum that you\u2019ll find a prototype of the iconic Flying Machines designed by Da Vinci!<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n As we\u2019ve told you previously, Da Vinci\u2019s \u201cLast Supper\u201d<\/b> is in exhibition at\u00a0Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie.\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>But what many people don\u2019t know, is that Da Vinci lived very close to the Church where one of his stunning masterpieces is currently on display. That\u2019s right, Da Vinci lived right in front of the church at the 65 Corso Magenta ate Casa degli Atellani! The home belonged to the Atellans, a family that were courtiers of the historical Milanese citizen Ludovico Sforza, one of the patrons of Da Vinci. In 1948, the Atellani\u00a0had a vineyard planted for Leonardo,<\/strong> who loved good wine and worldliness and loved this gift very much. That vine still exists and, today, it\u2019s an important historical style.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n If you want to get the Inspiration Vibe of Da Vinci, then you need to step away from the City of Milan and visit the outskirts of the city! You must travel to\u00a0Paderno d\u2019Adda<\/strong>, a place where the River Adda<\/strong> flows. It\u2019s\u00a0in this stretch of river you can visit the places where Leonardo studied the rapids to find a way to transport the building materials by water despite that stretch was not navigable. Leonardo\u00a0took inspiration from the landscapes of the Adda River for the backgrounds of his famous paintings \u201cVirgin of the Rocks\u201d or even \u201cMona Lisa\u201d\/ \u201cGioconda\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n What about the Duomo? Well, the Duomo is Milan\u2019s most Iconic building and it\u2019s construction spanned for\u00a0over 400 years! Some parts of the cathedral\u00a0<\/strong>were designed during Da Vinci\u2019s lifetime, but surprisingly, Leonardo Da Vinci wasn\u2019t involved in any part of the construction process of this church, and none of his works can be found inside this architectonic wonder. It\u2019s true that\u00a0Leonardo made some drawings<\/strong>\u00a0for the domed crossing tower but\u00a0t<\/strong>hese never moved to the construction phase\u00a0because, according to the local legends, Leonardo told his superiors that his plans and options where inferior to the ones provided by other two court architects: Amadeo and Dolcebuono.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n We end this Guide with Sforza Castle in central Milan! This is one of the historical sights of Milan and it\u2019s where we find another masterpiece of the master artist.\u00a0\u00a0He painted the famous Frescoed Ceiling of the \u201cSala delle Asse\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0(\u2018Room of the Wooden Panels\u2019), combining a naturalist depiction with a strong symbolism!\u00a0The Sforza Castle houses another\u00a0important work by Leonardo: The Codex Trivulzianus. <\/strong>It\u2019s\u00a0a manuscript containing notes and drawings dealing mainly with military and religious architecture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n You won\u2019t be able to see the Tributes that the City of Milan is preparing for Da Vinci to celebrate this Date during Salone del Mobile or the Milan Design Week because most of them will only start to happen in May (The Month that Leonardo Died)!<\/strong> But Milan is preparing a huge celebration and thought all the Summer you\u2019ll be able to visit countless\u00a0exhibits, expos and masterclasses about the painter!\u00a0One of the big events of the programme is the return to Milan of the \u201cMadonna Litta\u201d, which the Hermitage Museum in St.Petersburg is loaning to the Poldi Pezzoli Museum for a special exhibition.<\/p>\n Leonardo Da Vinci & PullCast<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n PullCast will be in Milan to pay tribute to Leonardo Da Vinci\u2019s work and life. This top and luxury hardware brand will debut at Salone del Mobile.Milano a special and commemorative piece that\u2019s inspired in one of Da Vinci\u2019s top works! And no, it isn\u2019t \u201cThe Last Supper\u201d, but if you want to discover what is our Tribute to Leonardo Da Vinci\u2019s, then you must pay PullCast a visit at Salone del Mobile 2019!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Discover Milan and The Work & History of Leonardo Da Vinci \u2013 We are just a few weeks away from two of the most popular and prestigious design events of the year:\u00a0Milan Design Week and\u00a0The Salone del Mobile.Milano.
