Milan, in the time of genius and shadows. Leonardo is working on a grand fresco for the powerful Sforza family, but something strange keeps happening—the snake from their coat of arms vanishes each morning. 

One night, Leonardo hides in the dark… and catches the Devil himself altering the painting. A deal is struck: if you, his brightest student, can solve the riddles scattered through Milan’s streets, the artwork will be saved.

Storyline

Every morning, going back to his painting, Leonardo sees that the snake from the Sforza family’s coat of arms (a special design used as a symbol of their identity) has been removed: he always draws it again, afraid his patrons will soon visit his artwork.

One night, waiting in the dark to unveil the mystery, Leonardo catches the Devil removing the painted snake. The Devil claims that Leonardo can’t have one of the Devil’s symbols above Christ’s hand: 

“If your student can solve many a riddle, I will be painted up the fresco in the very middle, otherwise your work I will destroy and no more colour you will enjoy”.

idea molto bella per scoprire angoli della città e conoscerne le relative storie. da correggere solo alcune posizioni all’inizio e rendere le domande un po’ più difficili
