horse, with no single definitive drawing of the statue. Akamu researched multiple information sources to gain insight into the original sculptor's intentions. She studied both Leonardo's notes and drawings of the horse and those of other projects he was working on. She reviewed his thoughts on anatomy, painting, sculpture, and natural phenomena. Her research expanded to include the teachers who had influenced Leonardo. Akamu also studied Iberian horse breeds, such as the Andulasian, which were favored by the Sforza stables in the late 15th century. Two full-size casts were made of Akamu's design. The primary cast – The Horse – was placed at the Hippodrome of San Siro in Milan, and unveiled on September 10, 1999. The Da Vinci Science Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania, holds the rights to Leonardo da Vinci's Horse as a result of its 2003 merger with LDVHI. Additional renderings of The Horse of different sizes are displayed in the United States and Italy. Leonardo da Vinci Horse, Inc. Charles C. Dent established Leonardo da Vinci Horse, Inc. (LDVHI) in 1982 as a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization in the State of Pennsylvania. Its mission was “to create a 24-foot gilded bronze Renaissance-style Horse in the spirit of Leonardo da Vinci and present it to Italy as a gift from the American people.” The working Board guided the administration, fundraising, publications, publicity, and public relations; partnerships and legal contracts; Nina Akamu’s selection as sculptor for the final master model; negotiations with USA and Italian public, corporate, and cultural officials; and arrangements for The Horse’s installation and unveiling ceremonies. The Board was restructured in 2000 and announced in 2003 the merger of LDVHI with the Discovery Center of Science and Technology to become the Leonardo da Vinci Science Center*. Three LDVHI trustees joined the Discovery Center Board. Original Board: Roger Enloe (President and Chairman), Milan J.
