    *Leonardo da Vinci is part of the Renaissance movement, standing out among other inventors of the time through both the difference in method and vision, and his skills that made him excel in many areas such as painting, sculpture, architecture or engineering. His main inventions are different types of machines used both for the protection and the siege of a city, his work having been closely related to the socio-political context of the Italian states and the conflict relationship between them. His notes reveal a large number of inventions, among which the hydraulic pump, the submarine, the chariot, the ball bearing, the diving suit, the rotating bridge, flying mashines, self-propelled mashine, etc.
