MILAN: On the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci's death, the 77th edition of the International Bicycle and Motorcycle Exhibition in Milan will pay tribute to the prolific inventor with this year's theme, "Revolutionary Motion."

The organisers will draw a parallel between the new era that is currently dawning on the world of two-wheelers, and the creative and scientific enlightenment of the Renaissance. The show will highlight the mobility of tomorrow, which will essentially be powered by electricity, with regards to motorcycles as well as scooters and bicycles.

The show also aims to pay tribute to Leonardo da Vinci's extraordinary contributions to science - specifically in terms of transportation, with innovations that continue to inspire motorcycle manufacturers centuries on.

The exhibition will be open to the public from Nov 7 to Nov 10, with Nov 5 and Nov 6 reserved for press and professionals. As in every year, a large part of the exhibition will be dedicated to accessories.
