During the television program "Ulysses", aired in Italy on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2009, the well-known scientific divulgator Piero Angela stated that a secret drawing, a youthful self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, had just been discovered. Actually, the Leonardo3 research center in Milan had published its own edition of the Codex of Flight (book & interactive software) in the October 2007: this work included the digital restoration of page 10, revealing the underlying portrait. The same center had also created a 3D reconstruction of the image.
