The second, obvious stop is in Vinci, where the artist resided and where he is believed to have been baptised, in the local Church of Santa Croce. Vinci is also home to the <strong>Leonardo Museum<\/strong>, containing artefacts and a wealth of information that will thrill anyone intent on cracking the authentic <em>Da Vinci Code<\/em>. The following stops are, obviously, Florence and Milan, where some of Leonardo\u2019s most iconic works of art are kept, but also Parma, where the famous drawing <em>Head of a Woman<\/em>, also known as <em>La Scapigliata<\/em> is kept. Visitors are then invited to explore Leonardo\u2019s masterpieces in Rome. The Vatican museums are home to his famous Saint Jerome, while the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo has a whole museum dedicated to the Tuscan genius.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5824\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.smarteventi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/leonardo-da-vinci-la-scapigliata-1.jpg\" alt=\"leonardo da vinci la scapigliata\" width=\"1000\" height=\"849\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"mks_button mks_button_large squared\" href=\"https:\/\/en.smarteventi.it\/contact_us.html\" target=\"_self\" style=\"color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #dd9933\" >Start planning your next event in Italy today!<\/a>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>What we did: Leonardo\u2019s secret<\/h3>\n<p>This year, <strong>we will be reprising <a href=\"https:\/\/en.smarteventi.it\/burger_king_237.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a fascinating team building activity we originally created for Burger King<\/a><\/strong>, called <strong>Leonardo\u2019s Secret<\/strong>. This is a very special version of our beloved <a href=\"\/treasure-hunt-in-tuscany-team-building-project-barilla.html\"><strong>scavenger hunt<\/strong><\/a>, involving clues that are intended to help participants learn about Leonardo\u2019s work and his contribution to the progress of technology. We divided our client\u2019s staff into two teams and equipped them with mini iPads \u2013 thus adding a hi-tech touch that we are sure Leonardo would have appreciated \u2013 and sent them on a city tour of Milan. In order to solve our puzzles, <strong>the teams needed to answer questions that required them to tap into their shared knowledge of history and art<\/strong>. Each clue was designed to be challenging but approachable and to lead to a new nugget of learning, in order to <strong>lead to the next clue and eventually to the ultimate goalpost<\/strong>. The true \u201ctreasure\u201d to be found, of course, was a deeper connection to the city and its history, as well as with the incredible and unique legacy that Leonardo left behind for the whole of humanity to enjoy and benefit from.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5825\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.smarteventi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/leonardo-da-vinci-team-building-milan-1.jpg\" alt=\"leonardo da vinci team building milan\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>The thrill of learning<\/h3>\n<p>Team building activities are often associated with dull and slightly awkward afternoons outside the office: we want none of that. <strong>We want our clients to enjoy the authentic thrill of a unique experience<\/strong>, that leaves them with something valuable to show for it. And we are aware that there are fewer thrills, in the life of a human being, stronger and more pleasurable than the thrill of discovery, of learning something new and making a connection to places, people and our shared history. The feedback on this kind of team building activity, so far, has been overwhelmingly positive and we are working on improving it further, to meet the needs of a variety of clients.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"mks_button mks_button_small rounded\" href=\"https:\/\/www.teambuildingmilano.it\/eng\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #dd9933\" >Book a this experience for your team today!<\/a>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What year is this?
