This is Italy’s largest ever Leonardo exhibition, and comprises 12 sections – each addressing a thread running through his artistic and scientific experiments. Major loans include the Louvre’s La Belle Ferronière, but the show also features autograph drawings and manuscripts and considers his legacy as a painter and theorist.
