GALLOP RACES
Besides the various appointments
related to the horse racing, the San Siro race course
is also famous because of the imposing reproduction
of Leonardo's Horse, commissioned in 1482 by Ludovico
Sforza that can be admired inside. Leonardo realized
the big terracotta model, which was destroyed, but
known through the draws. The modern bronze castin
(1998-1999) was realized thanks to the interest of
the American pilot Charles Dent, using the argil model
of the sculptor Nina Akamo. Leonardo's horse is 7.20
meters high, 8.666 meters long, it is 2,43 meters
large and it weighs 15 tons. It is the biggest equestrian
monument in the world.
