ABSTRACT:
Professor Maurizio Seracini, '73, is referred to in Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" as the Italian art diagnostician "who unveiled the unsettling truth" about Da Vinci's work. Last fall, UCSD alumnus Seracini revealed even more unsettling truths when he published two years of research on Da Vinci's "Adoration of the Magi" and showed Da Vinci drawings unseen for over 500 years. Seracini will show these startling new images and reveal how he used cutting-edge technology to find them at a special Alumni Association lecture on campus, February 2. In late March, this work will be part of a major exhibit in Florence, mounted by the Uffizi Gallery and the Museum of Science, titled "The Mind of Da Vinci." Join us for a fascinating evening with Maurizio Seracini and hear how he uncovered Da Vinci drawings unseen for 500 years.

A coffee and dessert reception will follow the lecture. This event is sponsored by GEICO Insurance and the UCSD Alumni Association, with support from the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2).
