Mappa Di Imola

Leonardo Da Vinci Mappa di Imola is a sparkling wine from the 1502 Da Vinci in Romagna collection by Cantine Leonardo da Vinci.

The City of Imola Map Under Leonardo's Genius Pen

Leonardo Da Vinci Mappa di Imola is part of the 1502 Da Vinci in Romagna wine collection. Each wine in the collection is associated with a story or work of Leonardo during his time assisting Cesare Borgia, the son of Pope Alexander VI. The story of Mappa di Imola is partially depicted in the drawing on the wine label - the map of the city of Imola.

Leonardo's method of representing this map was completely different from the contemporary understanding of territorial mapping. In the 16th century, city maps were often symbolic, exaggerating the size of religious buildings. However, Leonardo broke this tradition with "The Imola Map." He applied Leon Battista Alberti's mapping techniques, combined with compasses and odometers, to collect field data, creating an accurate map of distances, proportions, and the relationship between landmarks.

Leonardo's technique created the first map to accurately display a "flat city" as seen from above, or a topographic map as we call it today. Remarkably, after 5 centuries, this map remains accurate enough to be used for navigation in the city of Imola today.
