Leonardo considerava la guerra una follia, tuttavia si dedicò lungamente allo studio e alla progettazione di armi e macchine belliche: naturale per chi, come lui, si trovava al servizio di potenti signori per i quali la guerra poteva garantire la sopravvivenza o determinarne il declino. Leonardo disegnò soprattutto armi da fuoco, ma anche altre di tipo più tradizionale: tutte però presentano caratteristiche straordinarie e innovative che ancora una volta testimoniano la grandezza del loro ideatore. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… Leonardo considered war madness, however he dedicated himself for a long time to the study and design of weapons and war machines: natural for those who, like him, found themselves in the service of powerful lords for whom war could guarantee their survival or determine their decline. Leonardo designed mainly firearms, but also others of a more traditional type: however, all of them present extraordinary and innovative characteristics which once again testify to the greatness of their creator.]
