It is an illustration project that celebrates Italian creativity, ingenuity, and beauty: the codices of some of the most illustrious and representative icons of modern culture, created with Leonardo da Vinci's distinctive mark.
THE GENIUS OF LEONARDO
Leonardo was the most versatile historical figure who, through his unmistakable drawing, represented the mechanisms of nature that surrounded him and developed new engineering projects.
How would Leonardo have represented the icons of Italian modernity and creativity?
How many other objects are so common to us that their function is sublimated?
These six illustrations, the result of a refined and measured project, adapt with great versatility to different types of products, creating a perfect balance between the charm of tradition and the impetus of innovation.
The careful choice of colors, inspired by Leonardo's favorite shades, is enriched with bolder, more contemporary combinations, where past and present reflect each other.
The images, created with an elegant and harmonious style, integrate naturally on any surface, enhancing each object with grace, lightness and a touch of nobility.

Meet the inventions that changed our way of life.
I asked myself how I could give form to the symbols of modernity, as if my own genius had forged them. I wanted to merge the Renaissance with the vision of an ever-evolving future.
Every line of my stylus is born from the observation of nature and the desire to go beyond. In my notebooks, art and engineering coexist in machines and visions that seek a balance between utility and beauty.
Here, art unites with science: drawing becomes a universal language, capable of reinventing the world, a tribute to my creative spirit and an invitation to dare, as I did.
I leave you with a question: “If I were among you today, what wonders could I still conceive?” It is up to you to explore it.
