To mark the G8 meeting, a digital copy of 25 pages from the Codex Atlanticus, made with images digitalized by Mida Informatica using a Metis Systems scanner, was given – a world first – to the heads of government present in Aquila.

The original sheets of the Codex Atlanticus are on display at the Ambrosiana of Milan: Machines for architecture and the land. www.ambrosiana.eu
