"Ruscello di Toscana"
“There are three classes of people: those who
see, those who see when they are shown,
those who do not see.”
- Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci firmly held the belief that
mankind's most important sense was his sight and
that "saper vedere" was paramount to realizing one's
existence. Saper vedere is knowing how to see;
It transposes the saying "seeing is believing" to
"believing is seeing". Those who observe saper
vedere look forward, backward, outward and inward,
are willing to see what others do not, and hold belief
in what their findings reveal to them.
