HEROES OF INVENTION

The thematic exhibitions, such as that of Leonardo da Vinci, are an excuse to remember all the great inventions made in the course of centuries and remember the scientific progress made.
The plubicity mentiones the names of the great inventors but only for a purpose of propaganda. In this way, in fact, they dropped the famous inventor of the product, hoping that in this way are able to sell it.
