Leonardo DaVinci

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (15 April 1452 – 2 May 1519), more commonly Leonardo da Vinci or simply Leonardo, was an Italian polymath of the Renaissance whose areas of interest included invention, drawing, painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, writing, history, and cartography. He has been variously called the father of palaeontology, ichnology, and architecture, and he is widely considered one of the greatest painters of all time. Sometimes credited with the inventions of the parachute, helicopter, and tank, he epitomised the Renaissance humanist ideal.

    proprio come il ferro arrugginisce dal disuso, anche così l'inazione rovina l'intelletto.

    鉄が廃用で錆びるのと同じように、不作為でも知性は損なわれます。

    இரும்பு பயன்பாட்டில் இருந்து துருப்பிடிப்பது போலவே, செயலற்ற தன்மையும் புத்தியைக் கெடுக்கும்.

    就像廢鐵使鐵鏽一樣,無所作為也會破壞智力。
