The event, organized by the Municipality of Vinci with the Leonardiana Library in collaboration with the ‘Leonardo Da Vinci’ International Center for Studies and Documentation, saw the illustration of the theories on which the studies on the creation of the Imola Map are based, the painting that Leonardo composed in 1502 with which he faithfully represented the map of the city in the province of Bologna.
Illustrating hypotheses and interpretations to those present was Andrea Cantile, professor of historical cartography for landscapes, who tried to answer some questions about the knowledge gained regarding this cartographic masterpiece.
Cantile was introduced by the mayor, the deputy mayor with responsibilities for culture and the director of the Leonardiana Library.
A Leonardo Reading, today’s, which continues the tradition inaugurated on 24 April 1960 thanks to the then director of the Leonardiana Library, Renzo Cianchi. The event has never had any breaks, except the forced one in 2020, due to the Covid -19 pandemic.
