	In Terre d'Italia - Town of Vinci
		Today the Castello is home to the 'Leonardo Museum' housing one of the largest collections of original size reproductions of machines and models designed and constructed by the genius, Leonardo.
		In the piazza opposite from the 'Castello' is a large wooden sculpture 'L'Uomo di Vinci' 'Man from Vinci' designed by Mario Ceroli, who was inspired by Leonardo's study of 'Homo Vitruvianus'.
		Of particular interest, not far from the Castle, is Santa Croce Parish Church, which has been restored several times: the interior and the façade date back to 1929, the bell tower to 1852, the baptistery to 1952.

		The painted human figure is inserted in a grid of square modules which reflect some proportional parameters basically derived from the dimensions of the body in its vertical development.
		The vertical axis of the proportional scale passed through the navel of the human figure, as did the median one, and this was to recur identically in the Renaissance representations of Homo Vitruvianus and in the Modulor of Le Corbusier.
		The human body is the model for representing the whole of knowledge.

		He is the first who describes the so-called homo vitruvianus with spread legs, so that it must be expanded violently to fit in the square, like Cesariano illustrates it later.
		In the role of the navel as origin of the red series, Le Corbusier alludes to the tradition of the homo vitruvianus and the related speculations about the harmonies in the anthropocentric cosmos, well shown in a summing figure in the second book Modulor 2 [Le Corbusier 1955: fig.
