An immersive experience into Leonardo’s genius: Da Vinci Experience, the new Florence-based exhibition devoted to the Renaissance artist, uses modern technologies and communication techniques to draw visitors into the world of Leonardo and the Florence he lived in.
The exhibition, which anticipates the celebrations for the 500th anniversary of Leonardo’s death in two years, has been set up in the former church of Santo Stefano al Ponte, near Ponte Vecchio. Here, video mapping projections have been installed on nine large screens and on the magnificent architecture of the church’s nave; there are also hundreds of digitized images, as well as full HD videos with 360° Dolby surround soundtrack.
The exhibition includes several models of machines built by Leonardo, reproduced following the original designs by a Florence-based artisan workshop; the most spectacular is the nine-meter wing devised for human flight suspended in the center of the nave.
