The year 2019 marks the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death. Milano is the city where Leonardo da Vinci stayed the longest. Here Leonardo arrived in 1482, at the service of Duke Ludovico Sforza, and his presence has left an indelible mark in the history and artistic production of the City and in the entire region of Lombardy.
For this reason, Milano and Lombardy will dedicate a whole year to the Maestro :
