[Sarah Ehinger · Rating 3 out of 5]

A book focusing on the inventor/engineer aspects of Leonardo, rather than the artistic side (although they influence each other). The layout and the captioning of the sketches in the book was disruptive to the read. Facinating, despite the layout downsides.

Sempre stato Fan sfegatato di Leonardo da Vinci ma leggerne un libro sulle sue invenzioni e progetti è stato incredibile. Il libro non è recentissimo e tratta del rinvenimento di due quaderni di appunti Leonardo a Madrid spiegandone il contenuto.
