Official Sponsor of the event is the Italian Group CMC di Ravenna
"Being Leonardo da Vinci" is a show that depicts the real life of the Italian genius through the theater with the history of art and science. Through the format of the impossible interview, Massimiliano Finazzer Flory becomes Leonardo "physically", wearing period costumes, with a make-up that is a true reconstruction of the face of the genius of Vinci; acts in Renaissance language on the original texts of Leonardo including the famous Treaty of painting.
For the first time through the format of the impossible interview, Leonardo speaks and answers questions of our time.
Finazzer Flory puts on the stage the thought of Leonardo, his universal vision of things. Not the opposition between humanistic and scientific knowledge but the search for a culture that combines in synthesis art and nature, science and painting. Offering, through 67 questions, the opportunity to talk about the different Leonardo that are inside the genius of Vinci, he uses authentic words of Leonardo, giving voice and face to the master in an intense dialogue on rigorous original sources and polemic, supported by the chronicles of the period.
