ROME - 87th EDITION OF THE SIENA HORSE SHOW

In the splendid green setting of the Galoppatoio of Villa Borghese, riders from thirteen nations will meet from 23 to 26 May. Leonardo Horse Projet - Villa Borghese Gardens.

Leonardo da Vinci was also a sculptor at the court of Ludovico il Moro, but failed to make the monumental horse for the equestrian statue of Francesco Sforza. He left instead the beautiful graphic studies about the anatomy of the noble animal and the design for the monument. According to them, twenty years ago, the American sculptor Nina Akamu created the gigantic Leonardo horse, which can be admired at the Milan Hippodrome.

On the occasion of the International Horse Show and the Vinciane celebrations, some Italian and international artists have reinterpreted the famous equestrian figure, updating it.
