Fabrizio Palenzona, Aeroporti di Roma, New exhibition space to inaugurate on the 12th of October 2011 at Rome’s Leonardo Da Vinci Airport
Visitors to Rome will soon be able to get their first taste of great Italian art as soon as they touch down on the tarmac. Rome’s Leonardo Da Vinci Airport (also known as Fiumicino) has plans to inaugurate a new exhibition space on the 12th of October 2011.
Every year more than 36 million passengers pass through the Roman airport. Planners have devised a permanent exhibition hall that will allow them to transform part of the airport into an introduction to Italian cultural heritage for tourists to experience as soon as they step off the plane.
The art hall will be located in Terminal 1, which is already home to a temporary display of the most prestigious ‘Made in Italy’ brands. The new space, however, will host a permanent art collection modelled after the Amsterdam airport which has set up a branch of the city’s famous Rijksmuseum on site.
It is only fitting that the permanent space at Fiumicino airport will first host a Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit when it opens its doors next week.

Leonardo da Vinci modelled the “Mona Lisa” on the face of his young male apprentice and lover, an Italian art historian has claimed.
Most scholars believe Leonardo’s most famous portrait depicts Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a wealthy Florentine silk merchant.
But Silvano Vinceti, the head of a team of researchers, believes instead that the painting was inspired by Gian Giacomo Caprotti, who began working with the Renaissance master as a child and became one of his most trusted companions.
He said several of Leonardo’s works, including two paintings of St John the Baptist and a lesser-known drawing called “Angel Incarnate,” were based on Caprotti.
All of them portray a slim, rather effeminate youth with curly hair.
There were striking similarities between those works and that of the Mona Lisa, particularly in the depiction of mouths and noses, said Mr Vinceti, the head of the National Committee for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage.
“Salai was a favourite model for Leonardo,” he said. “Leonardo certainly inserted characteristics of Salai in the ... Mona Lisa.”
Caprotti is thought to have entered Leonardo’s household around 1490, when he was about 10 years old.
Working as Leonardo’s assistant for the next 20 years, he acquired the nickname Salai, or Little Devil. He was the subject of several erotic drawings produced by the Renaissance genius.
“Salai was very handsome and probably Leonardo’s lover,” said Mr Vinceti. “He stole from Leonardo and caused him many problems, but the artist always forgave him.”
Other art historians were sceptical about the theory, however.
Pietro Marani, a Leonardo authority and the author of several books on the artist, called the theory “groundless.”
Previous scholars have claimed that Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa as a disguised self-portrait, or based the work, with its famously enigmatic smile, on his mother.

Leonardo Da Vinci’s 500-year-old Renaissance masterpiece has long been steeped in mystery, and even today the true identity of the woman with the alluring smile still far from certain.
Now members of Italy’s National Committee for Cultural Heritage have revealed that by magnifying high resolution images of the Mona Lisa’s eyes letters and numbers can be seen.
“To the naked the symbols are not visible but with a magnifying glass they can clearly be seen,” said Silvano Vinceti, president of the Committee.
In the right eye appear to be the letters LV which could well stand for his name Leonardo Da Vinci while in the left eye there are also symbols but they are not as defined.
He said: “It is very difficult to make them out clearly but they appear to be the letters CE or it could be the letter B – you have to remember the picture is almost 500 years old so it is not as sharp and clear as when first painted.
“While in the arch of the bridge in the background the number 72 can be seen, or it could be an L and the number 2.”
The painting also featured in the Dan Brown blockbuster The Da Vinci Code, which was turned into a 2006 film starring Tom Hanks. His character interprets secret messages hidden in the Mona Lisa and Da Vinci’s other works, including The Last Supper.

And not a copy of the rubbish Dan Brown book, either.
A coded manuscript by Leonardo da Vinci, which needs a mirror to be read, ahas been found in a public library in Nantes, France.
The document was found by a journalist who read about it in a da Vinci biography.
"He was most probably writing in 15th-century Italian, and possibly in other languages," the head of the Nantes library, Agnes Marcetteau said.
The fragment of paper with brown scrawls is the second rare item uncovered in the Labouchere collection, after a score by composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was found among the documents in 2008.And not a copy of the rubbish Dan Brown book, either.
