Starting point of the show is the code of the flight, kept in the Biblioteca Reale in Turin and written by Leonardo in 1505, when the brilliant artist-scientist investigates and analyzes with texts and drawings the flight of birds, inquiring about the possibility for man to rise from the ground with the help of flying machines.
