We continue on path 115c/115d towards Sogliano al Rubicone, inside a roundabout, we will meet the Vitruvian Man, a sculpture made on a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci: a famous representation of the ideal proportions of the human body, it demonstrates how it can be harmoniously inscribed in the two “perfect” figures of the circle and the square. Leonardo’s drawing was inspired by a passage by the architect Vitruvius (first century BC).
