Bad article. At the end it states:

“Now that our research has proved that Leonardo’s project was feasible, we are planning to finally cast his horse right in the town where he wanted it to stand,” Galluzzi said.”

The horse WAS built. A decade ago two versions of the horse were built and paid for by Fed Meijer. One of them resides in Grand Rapids, Michigan at the Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park and the other one is in Milan. Of course, you won’t find any Italians talking about how an Asian American sculptor and a Rich Dutch American store owner were the ones who finished it.

“The 3D models showed that the molten bronze would have filled the molds needed for the huge statue in less than 165 seconds and all that metal would have weighed 70 tons — exactly the amount that Leonardo had calculated.”
To think that Leonardo calculated that 500 years ago with just ink and paper is astonishing….
