The five hundredth anniversary of the death of Leonardo Da Vinci is a historic event marked by worldwide celebrations to honour one of the most exceptional Italian minds of all time.

Universally acclaimed as a master of the fields of science, design, functionality, innovation, art and culture, Leonardo is particularly famous for his extraordinary intuitive visions and the futuristic discoveries that became reality hundreds of years later.

Organised in cooperation with the local order of architects and interior designers, the event was attended by more than 200 professionals who had the opportunity to immerse themselves in an Italian atmosphere and enjoy a unique journey through Italian culture and expertise.

 

The event focused on the Renaissance period and the ingenuity and materials of the times. Italian ceramic tile took centre stage in a talk on Cersaie and the main ceramic tile trends 2020 given by Cristina Faedi, head of Promotional Activities at Confindustria Ceramica, who focused in particular on creative inspiration and Italian design.
