LEONARDO DA VINCI

LET LEONARDO DA VINCI HIMSELF TELL YOU HIS LIFE STORY, IN THE FIRST PERSON AND AS IF IT WERE A TALE.

What would you like to be when you grow up? I'm sure that when you're asked that question, you answer with a specific profession: vet, astronaut, teacher... However, if I had been asked that question, I wouldn't have known how to answer. I was interested in almost everything, and throughout my life I did countless things.

Most people know me as a painter, because my paintings have become very famous, although in reality I was also an inventor, scientist, engineer, architect, philosopher, writer... I don't know if I'm leaving anything out.

But the important thing is not only that I did many different things, but that I always tried to do them in a way that no one had ever tried before. My ideas were so visionary that many of my inventions ended up becoming reality many centuries later. Would you like to know more about me? Then join me in the following pages.

This is my story.
