We invite you to an enlightening roundtable discussion centered on Leonardo da Vinci's concept of "curiosità," his insatiable curiosity and profound desire to understand the world around him. This session will explore how this defining trait not only propelled da Vinci’s artistic accomplishments but also paved the way for his revolutionary scientific discoveries.

Experts from the fields of art history, cognitive science, and philosophy have dissected how da Vinci’s relentless questioning and observational skills transformed his work, leading to innovative approaches in painting, anatomy, engineering, and natural philosophy. Attendees will gain insights into how da Vinci’s curiosity manifested in various projects, from anatomically precise sketches to designs for flying machines, and how this mindset can inspire today’s interdisciplinary practices.

The discussion will also reflect on the broader implications of curiosità, examining how it encourages creativity, critical thinking, and a lifelong passion for learning. Attendees are encouraged to engage in the dialogue, sharing their thoughts on how embracing curiosity can enhance both artistic expression and scientific inquiry in the modern world.
