Leonardo da Vinci in context

Since 2008, the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz has conceived various international conferences under the scientific direction of Alessandro Nova, each dedicated to specific aspects of the work of Leonardo da Vinci. On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of Leonardo’s death, the research project’s final conference De-Coding Leonardo’s Codices took place. All proceedings have been characterized by close cooperation with international institutions and a decidedly interdisciplinary approach, which reflects the diverse interests of the artist, researcher and philosopher Leonardo da Vinci.
