How do you create a "satellite" map in 1502?
As the video above shows, it takes a lot of technical expertise and imagination. Fortunately, it was the expertise of Leonardo da Vinci.
When Leonardo was installed in Imola, Italy, as military engineer of the politician Cesare Borgia, he was instructed to help Borgia to better know the layout of the city. To do this, he created an innovative map combining cutting-edge surveying techniques and his artistic imagination.
The resulting ichnographic map was a step forward for mapping, transforming it from a partially imaginative exercise into an informational badet.
Watch the video above to see how he did it.
