TROTTING RACING
Besides the various appointments
related to the horse racing with the complete season
calender to be checked on the official web site, the
San Siro race course is also famous because the imposing
reproduction of Leonardo's Horse , commissioned in
1482 by Ludovico Sforza, can be admired inside. Leonardo
realized the big terracotta model, which was destroyed,
but known through the draws. The modern bronze castin
(1998-1999) was realized thanks to the interest of
the American pilot Charles Dent, using the argil model
of the sculptor Nina Akamo. Leonardo's horse is 7.20
meters high, 8.666 meters long, it is 2,43 meters
large and it weighs 15 tons. It is the biggest equestrian
monument in the world. It can be seen every day from
9.30 a.m. till 7.30 p.m., free entrance.
