A winch consisting of eight cylinders and some pulleys wrapped in a cable. What is the purpose of this machine designed by Leonardo?

Summer at the museum has begun with the arrival of a machine… an interactive one, of course!

In a few days, we’ll explain exactly how it works, but in the meantime, we highly recommend coming to try it out at the museum! 🛠️⚙️

The rivalry between those two geniuses, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, is well known by now!
But did you know that there is an episode of this rivalry that took place right in Piazza della Signoria?
All around Florence, in the city’s most iconic spots, there are more stories like this about Leonardo da Vinci! And if you want to discover them too, join our outdoor guided tour “I luoghi e le macchine di Leonardo Da Vinci”.

🗓️ The next date will be Sunday, June 21.

It is called “Vitruvian man” because it was Vitruvius, back in the 1st century BC, who first spoke of the perfect geometry of the human body. A harmony where the total height equals the wingspan of the arms, allowing the figure to be inscribed within a square.
Furthermore, he described how, by placing a compass on the navel of a man lying flat, one could draw a circle that perfectly touches the tips of the hands and feet, making man the ultimate measure of symmetry and order.

A thousand-year-old enigma that several scholars attempted to solve before Leonardo: Taccola, Fra Giocondo, Francesco di Giorgio Martini and, after him, Cesare Cesariano. But, no solution was ever the definitive one.

If you were asked to choose just one science, which one would you pick? 🧐

Leonardo da Vinci probably wouldn’t have been able to answer that question. Mathematics, hydraulics, mechanics, physics, aerodynamics, but also botany and anatomy… He set no limits to his curiosity and loved all sciences! 🧠 🔭🧪

What about you? Do you have a favorite science or are you team “Leonardo da Vinci”?

In Florentine workshops, it was common to find machines like this one, used to make "burning" mirrors, parabolic mirrors whose curvature allowed them to “concentrate” solar energy into a single point called the focus. In these workshops, the mirrors were primarily used for welding large surfaces. In a page of Manuscript G, Leonardo da Vinci recalls when Verrocchio and his team used these burning mirrors to weld the copper sphere atop the dome of Florence Cathedral.

Leonardo left absolutely nothing to chance. Over the years, he didn’t just design machines to build these mirrors; he delved deeply into the mathematics of the parabolic curve, the science of reflection, and studied every single component of these machines.

What you see here is a interactive, scale reproduction of a model designed by Leonardo around 1480. It can be found in the Codex Atlanticus, f. 87r.

Leonardo’s interest in parabolic mirrors, or “burning mirrors”, began when he was still very young and working as an apprentice in Verrocchio’s workshop.
This interest would continue primarily into the more mature phases of his life, as he deepened his studies of optics, geometry, and light reflection. As his codices show, his studies were not limited to how the mirrors them selves functioned, he also designed the machines used to produce them.

The Gallerie dell’Accademia () in Venive houses one of the most important masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance: the original drawing of Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man. 📜 An enigmatic figure full of meaning, whose origins date back long before Leonardo himself!

Over the coming weeks, we will share the fascinating story of the Vitruvian Man, a journey through the Classical era, the Middle Ages, and the Italian Renaissance, strolling through science, geometry, art, and pure genius.

Right here in our museum, we have dedicated special spaces to the study of the Vitruvian Man: we look forward to exploring them together with you!

«Mechanics is the paradise of the mathematical sciences, because by means of it one comes to the fruits of mathematics.» (Manuscript E, folio 8v).⚙️✨

When Leonardo da Vinci moved to Milan, his scientific studies took a massive leap forward, fueled by a city buzzing with intellectuals and scientists. Mechanics, geometry, the study of weights, and arithmetic became some of his greatest passions, inspiring him to design everything from simple cranks and pulleys to incredibly complex machines.

🛠️ At the museum, we have an entire room dedicated to mechanics and the study of weights. Every single machine is built to scale and fully interactive, so you can experience the science hidden within!
