Monument to Leonardo da Vinci, Monument in Piazza della Scala, Milan, Italy
The white marble monument features a central statue of Leonardo da Vinci standing 4.40 meters tall upon an octagonal pink granite base.
Pietro Magni completed the sculptural ensemble in 1872 after facing numerous challenges during construction, including funding issues following Italy's unification process.
The monument includes four marble sculptures of Leonardo's pupils: Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio, Marco d'Oggiono, Cesare da Sesto, and Andrea Salaino.
Located in front of Teatro alla Scala, the monument serves as a central meeting point for visitors exploring Milan's historical district.
Four bas-reliefs on the base depict Leonardo's contributions to Milan: The Last Supper, military fortifications, irrigation projects, and an equestrian statue.
