18 Dec 2024 - Exhibition and show
In the year 2023 the TForma social cooperative organized a cultural and educational exhibition on the Italian scientist and artist Leonardo da Vinci with the aim of disseminating knowledge of his discoveries and inventions.
The project featured the main inventions that we find at the basis of much technology currently in use.
The main objectives of the project are::
- Conservation and enhancement of Leonardo's legacy: Promote knowledge and dissemination of his works, written, and inventions.
- Interdisciplinary education and training: Offer learning paths that integrate the visual arts with the sciences, inspired by Leonardo's method and vision.
The exhibition had not only a tourist and cultural value but also a social one.
The initiative, organized by the TFORMA social cooperative, guaranteed to all school groups, associations, free entry in order to guarantee even disadvantaged families the opportunity to participate in cultural initiatives.
At the entrance there were two actors in the role of Leonardo da Vinci and Monnalisa who accompanied the visitors throughout the exhibition and illustration of the machines.
The exhibition included the display of various machines, exhibited inside the Municipal Theater ''Aeschylus'', and interactive models located in the rooms dedicated to expressive play workshops for both adults and children, taken from Leonardo's codices.
The project, was born with the aim of exploring and promoting the influence and legacy of Leonardo da Vinci in the fields of art and science, through a multidisciplinary approach involving students, professionals, and cultural and educational institutions.
Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest innovators in history, with a career that embraced painting, architecture, engineering, the anatomy, and many other disciplines. The project aims to deepen his integrated vision of art and science, promoting a dialogue between these two worlds that, in Leonardo's thought, they were never separated, but they were part of a single quest to understand and improve the world.
The event offered services and educational courses for tourists, families, children and schools, associations for disabled people including the educational laboratory dedicated to mechanics and physics.
Interdisciplinary work, inspired by the figure of Leonardo, it allowed us to stimulate creativity and develop new ways of learning. At the end of the exhibition it was possible to view a documentary on the life of Leonardo da Vinci, much appreciated by visitors, especially from school groups.
