The partners went to Florence for a documetary visit. 

They could analyse the mechanical principles of some of the most remarkable machineries designed based on Leonardo's codices in Leonardo da Vinci Museum. The interactive exhibits allowed the visitors to experiment themselves some movement and flight principles using the 50 life-size machines, modeled after Leonardo’s designs.

The guided visit of the Uffizzi Gallery allowed the participants to get in touch with valuable information about the outstanding collections of impressive sculptures and paintings from the Middle Ages to the Modern period. One of the room  is very famous thanks to some masterpieces by young Leonardo da Vinci, painted before he moved to Milan in 1482 in the service of Duke Ludovico il Moro.
