One of the most enigmatic and innovative individuals, da Vinci was born April 15, 1452. Now, 500 years since his passing, he stands out as one of the greatest polymaths in history and is an individual that almost always comes to mind when speaking of the Italian Renaissance. In this talk, the man, the futurist and a glimpse of his contributions will be presented \u2013 touching upon areas ranging from his vegetarianism to his scientific, technological and mathematical studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lecture will be followed by a reception and refreshments provided by Sala San Marco Event and Conference Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
