The exhibit, centered around Da Vinci's 1505-06 "Codex on the flight of birds," also features 3D multimedia versions of the 18 pages comprising this extraordinary document.
"Leonardo Da Vinci was the first genius (...) who dared to imagine flying machines and studied the rudiments of bird flight," Pietro Folena, president of the MetaMorfosi cultural association, explained to EFE.
For the first time, Rome has been able to exhibit this unique document, on loan from Turin's Biblioteca Reale, where it has been treasured since 1893.
The Rome exhibition will also offer its visitors a multimedia experience enabling spectators to admire this singular manuscript jewel created by a man centuries ahead of his time.
The digital multimedia experience, created by the TeCIP institute of the Scuola Universitaria Superiore Sant'Anna di Pisa, has made it possible to provide the codex with a "more friendly environment for the public to participate in."
The exhibition is showing at Rome's Capitoline Museums until April 17.
