Walk in the worn out shoes of DaVinci.
Anyone who has visited the oldest cities in Italy – take Venice for example – know that the streets are tight, twisty and sometimes confusing. And that, of course is due to the fact that so many European cities are hundreds, if not thousands, of years old.
And those roads and streets were probably somewhat of a maze even to the residents. How did they easily get around?
DaVinci clearly had this on his mind when he decided to map all of the streets of Imola, a city and comune of Bologna. (see here)
He didn’t have the technology – even drones – that we have nowadays, so it took much thinking and a clever approach to problem-solving to design the incredibly accurate maps that he did – in 1502.
