Interactive Gallery “Leonardo on the Adda”
During his stay in Vaprio between 1506 and 1513, as a guest at Villa Melzi, Leonardo found—quite naturally—in our waterways a profound source of inspiration for his studies, which included reflections on landscape, botany, painting, and hydraulics. Today, inside the Water Custodian’s House, we can immerse ourselves in this extraordinary creative period of the Master by visiting the “Leonardo in Adda” Interactive Gallery, divided into three rooms.
Leonardo regarded water as a fundamental element in the geological evolution of the Earth, and he studied its movements by producing an astonishing number of drawings. In these works, the theme of the vortex—so easily observable in water—was explored in all its dynamic implications.
