“Two miles higher up there is Nesso, a place where a river falls with great violence into a vast rift in the mountain. These trips are to be made in the month of May”. These are Leonardo da Vinci’s words in his Codex Atlanticus… Well, if one of the of the greatest geniuses who ever lived says something like that, don’t you think it’s worth a visit?
