This year will therefore mark the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci, a year expected to see many events worldwide honouring him through his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this spirit, Carleton University has struck a cross-faculty Leonardo 2019 committee with a view to schedule its own series of events honouring the life and work of Leonardo. The committee has proposed monthly talks on the broad theme of Leonardo\u2019s work, his life, thoughts, and impact into the modern era. This series of events will be known as <strong><em>CINQUECENTO: Carleton Celebrates Leonardo da Vinci<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The members of the Leonardo 2019 committee include (in
