This is a great show. But it frustrates me that we can’t see what they are saying in Italian.

Funny, I don't remember any broken leg. In fact, Ezio seemed perfectly fine, even after the crash. :P

His glider, parachute, underwater breathing apparatus and tank have been built for another TV show, all made with materials he could have used and they worked well, once they corrected the little flaws that he purposely put in to keep his ideas from being stolen. For instance the glider was uncontrollable without a tail, but once they added one, it worked as well a modern hang glider.

I wonder how misplaced he might have felt at times for being so ahead of his day and era. Maybe in 500 years we will talk about a Leonardo Da Vinci from the 21st century who once saw it coming long before anyone else would even dare to dream about it.. the new social paradigm that is... a resource based economy. I wonder who that person is going to be, and how misplaced he should feel right now. When people lack the vision they feel insulted and irrationally threatened by those who possess it!

Mona Lisa. I think that he was just in love with her, who ever she was, and her eyes say that she knew it. "He carried the painting for years and he was never quite done with it, the only reason it exists the way it does today is because he died". Who ever the woman was he was in love with her. It was not just about seeking for perfection in art, he could have chosen any other woman, any other face to fixate is artistic restlessness on. Just a theory lol

it's not that they wouldn't have worked. he was just ahead of his time and they didn't have gasoline. the only energy providing source he had was humans and we arent strong enought to move a vehicle or create flight. he didnt have the technology, if he lived 50 more years he wouldnt invited the airplane most definately

@middletech yessss what the fuck is up with that

[JAKphoenixify]

it's nice to know that he accepted that if he did'nt go through with an idea somebody someday would...it's a pity it took 500 years into the future to actually realize his goals :o
