Understanding Leonardo's drawings: the interaction between real artifacts and digital transpositions in the museum visit experience

The contribution exposes the results of a museum development refined over several exhibitions focused on Leonardo da Vinci's drawings. A process is presented through the visualisation and interaction with digital replicas of some of his works set within exhibition itineraries related to the specific time of their production. It culminates in the fruition of a digital communicative artefact accessible via touch tables, and a physical installation in the form of a perspective machine through which representations of artifices, scientific principles, ideas, and intuitions by Leonardo take shape before the eyes of the visitors at the Museo Leonardiano in Vinci
