This photograph showcases a model of a parabolic bridge, designed by Ermenegildo Menighetti between 1952 and 1953, displayed at the Science and Technology Museum Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, Italy. The bridge design is inspired by a drawing from Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Atlanticus, dating back to the late 15th century. The drawing, which can be seen in the background of the image, is a testament to Leonardo's genius and his pioneering work in engineering and machine design during the Renaissance. Menighetti's model is an intriguing blend of the old and the new, highlighting the continuity of scientific and technological innovation throughout history. The parabolic shape of the bridge, a mathematical curve that was also explored by Leonardo, is a testament to the enduring relevance of his ideas.
