    This vortex-shaped walkway was built in 2013 on the occasion of the "500 years of Leonardo in Vaprio" anniversary. This particular staircase connects the towpath between Adda and Naviglio Martesana to Piazza Cavour, the heart of the historic center of Vaprio. The project by Attilio Stocchi and Gualtiero Oberti, with its spiral shape, takes inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci's schemes in Pacioli's «De divina proportione».
