Milan's Sforza Castle Hides Secret Tunnels Revealed by Da Vinci Drawing
A hidden world beneath Milan's Sforza Castle has been revealed, thanks to ground-penetrating radar and laser scanning. The discovery includes tunnels that may have been used for military operations and could be part of a larger system connecting the castle to nearby sites.
The tunnels, first drawn by Leonardo da Vinci in the 1400s, were confirmed to exist by Professor Barbara Zamboni and her team. The team's research has brought to light multiple tunnel sections, including those depicted in da Vinci's drawing. These tunnels may have included personal touches, such as connecting the castle to a nearby church.
The ground-penetrating radar data has enriched a 3D model of the castle, revealing unknown walkways and providing ideas for further studies on secret passages. The team plans to create a digital twin of the castle's underground system, allowing museum visitors to explore this hidden world.
The discovery of the tunnels offers a fresh perspective on the Sforza Castle's history and its underground world. The digital twin project, led by Professor Barbara Zamboni, will provide visitors with a unique opportunity to explore this fascinating aspect of the castle's past.
