Image caption One of Leonardo da Vinci's most famous drawings - "The Vitruvian Man" - will be presented at the exhibition, but only for two months. The drawing was brought from the Accademia Gallery in Venice to the Louvre in Paris literally before the opening of the exhibition.
In Italy, the Italia Nostra association tried to achieve a ban on the export of the famous drawing, insisting that this work of the artist should always be in special conditions, and transportation and lighting at the exhibition can cause irreparable harm to it. However, a court in Italy decided that the Vitruvian Man could still be exhibited in Paris.

"We hope that we can show what kind of artist he [Leonardo da Vinci] was, why he was so important. He used a special and unusual method work based on a scientific approach,” adds Deluvin.

"Mona Lisa" is perhaps the most famous work Leonardo da Vinci will be presented at the exhibition using virtual reality technologies. The painting itself will remain in its original location on permanent display at the Louvre, where it is housed behind bulletproof glass. This decision was made due to the fact that the capacity of the exhibition halls is several times lower than the capacity of the permanent exhibition hall.

Leonardo was born in the city of Vinci, in Tuscany, in 1452. His interests were not limited to painting; he was also a sculptor, architect, and mathematician. He spent several years before his death in May 1519 in France - at the invitation of King Francis I.
This circumstance became one of the arguments in the recent dispute between Italy and France.
The exhibition, which the Louvre had been preparing for years, came into question late last year when Italy's right-wing Northern League party opposed giving France several of the artist's works, saying Italy would be "on the sidelines of a major political event" by giving away the works. .
Last November, Italy's Deputy Minister of Culture Lucia Borgonzoni said: "Leonardo was an Italian. He only died in France. France cannot get everything."
The dispute came to an end only last week, when an administrative court in Italy ruled that the Vitruvian Man drawing, which is kept in a gallery in Venice in a room where a constant temperature is maintained, could be taken to an exhibition at the Louvre.
At the same time, the court referred to the exceptional significance of the exhibition in the Louvre for the whole world.
“Now two wonderful Italian-French exhibitions can begin their work - Leonardo in Paris and Raphael in Rome,” wrote Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini on Twitter.
