Radar scan reveals "da Vinci's underground world" in Milan

(NLDO) - Discoveries under an ancient castle in Milan show that some drawings by the famous artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci are not simply paintings.

Researchers from the Polytechnic University of Milan (Italy) have just made a shocking discovery beneath the Sforza Castle in Milan, Italy: A mysterious "underground world " related to Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, anatomist, inventor...

In Milan, there is a fairy tale about a nobleman named Ludovico il Moro, who lived in the 15th to early 16th century in the famous ancient Sforza castle, who built an entire underground tunnel system from the castle to the Basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie.

It is where Ludovico il Moro's beloved wife is buried and the network of tunnels will allow him to visit her freely.

The tunnel was immortalized in drawings by Leonardo da Vinci and has long been the subject of mysterious oral traditions.

Now, using modern technology such as ground-penetrating radar and laser scanning, Italian scientists have discovered that it may be a true story.

But the Renaissance master's painting is more than just a painting, it depicts a terrifying underworld he may have designed, far beyond the romantic tales told above.

Survey data has revealed a real underground tunnel system that exists beneath the Sforza Castle, previously unexplored and possibly connected to several secret military routes.

Speaking to SciTech Daily , Professor Franco Guzzetti (Polytechnic University of Milan) said the research aims to create a digital replica of the Sforza Castle, including what we still see as well as the ancient structures.

This ancient castle was originally built in the 15th century and has undergone many renovations since then.

These findings are preliminary, through virtual images, looking through the ground. It is still unclear which passage from the castle can lead to this mysterious underground tunnel system. Therefore, in the future, scientists will need to organize more field surveys.
