Leonardo a Vinci. The origins of the genius

What you will find

In Vinci, the birthplace of Leonardo, in the rooms of the Leonardian Museum, the exhibition "Leonardo in Vinci. At the origins of the Genius", organized thanks to the collaboration with the Uffizi Galleries, it is centered on Leonardo's biographical bond with his hometown and on the suggestions that his homeland offered to his career as an artist, technologist and scientist.

In this perspective, the documents on loan from the State Archives of Florence are presented, which unequivocally reconstruct the very first events of Leonardo's life in Vinci, and the first known drawing he realized, Landscape (inv. 8P) dated by the artist August 5, 1473, loaned to the Leonardo Museum for the first six weeks of the exhibition.

The exhibition itinerary unfolds around this early work, which constitutes a sort of programming for all of Leonardo's future production.

PLEASE NOTE The exhibition is included in the Passport of the MuDEV Pilgrim - The museums of Leonardo's lands
