• It was the period of the renaissance when
  Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15 1452.

  Anchiano, which is a mile or so away from Vinci.
  The family of Leonardo lived in this area since
  the 13th century.

  never published his ideas.

  despised war, yet he worked as a military
  engineer to invent advanced and deadly weapons.

Da Vinci

• In addition to being the personification of
  the Renaissance Man, Leonardo is reported to
  have been a strikingly handsome man with great
  strength and a fine singing voice. And unlike his
  fellow 15th-century Italians, he was a vegetarian
  and followed strict dietary rules. In fact, he
  loved animals so much that he would often buy
  caged animals at the market just to set them
  free.
