The Leonardo da Vinci Museum of North America hosted a live talk and Q&A event at the Pueblo City-County Library District Rawlings (Main) Branch recently. The event was free to the public and took place Feb. 6. The stage featured three speakers, with Craig Eliot Cisney, vice president of the board for Southern Colorado Science Center, guiding the discussion with Sara Taglialagamba and Steph Rizzo.

Taglialagamba is the professor of history of renaissance science at the University of Urbino (Italy) and the editor-in-chief of the Leonardo Studies series. Rizzo is a part of the Artisans of Florence International. Cisney thanked the many community leaders for their support of the museum. He is presenting to the Colorado Economic Development Commission to get approval of the location of the museum. The proposed location is the PBR Sports Performance Center along the Pueblo Riverwalk.
