The Project

On the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo Da Vinci, Augusto Rancilio Foundation with the collaboration of the Municipality of Bollate, Anthelios Edizioni and Alveare Cooperativa Sociale Onlus will host two exhibitions dedicated to the Tuscan Genius and many events to celebrate it at Villa Arconati-FAR. Leonardo da Vinci and the Arconates have, in fact, a story in common that has lasted for over 400 years and is hidden within the walls of a seventeenth-century Villa just outside Milan. Exhibitions and meetings with the culture of our time, shows, events and educational activities will allow us to understand the figure of Leonardo da Vinci in an unrepeatable context, which will be an opportunity to discover an almost forgotten history. >> Learn More
