From the 29th of October until the 20th of January 2019 you’ll have the rare chance to see Leonardo da Vinci’s Codex Leicester at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. This remarkable collection of handwritten notes and sketches dates from between 1504 and 1508 and will be shown alongside more of Da Vinci’s remarkable drawings from this period. The Codex Leicester: Water, Nature’s Microscope has been loaned to the gallery by its owner, Bill Gates, and thanks to a multimedia tool – the ‘Codescope’ – you will even be able to ‘leaf through’ the work and learn more about the themes it explores. The exhibition marks the start of celebrations to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Da Vinci’s death, in 2019. www.uffizi.it
