english: Well, in the mid-'70s, there were not great opportunities for a bioengineer like me, especially in Italy, and so I decided, with some researchers from the United States and the University of Florence, to start probing the murals decorated by Vasari on the long walls of the Hall of the 500 searching for the lost Leonardo.
non_english: Sredi 70-ih let prejšnjega stoletja velikih priložnosti za bioinženirja, kakršen sem bil sam,  ni bilo, zlasti ne v Italiji, zato smo se z nekaterimi raziskovalci iz ZDA in Univerzo v Firencah odločili,  da bomo v zidove ke države nad Milanom, krasila pa naj bi steno dvorane Salone dei Cinquecento, ki jih je poslikal Vasari,  izvrtali luknjice in vanje vstavili sonde, s katerimi bi iskali izgubljeno Leonardovo fresko.
