Leonardo Da Vinci (Part 1 of 18)

bitter much? lol

leonardo da vinci means leonardo of vinci..small village in italy as rumi toconillo says.

Who knows?Maybe God D.I.D. walk all
by himself to Leonardo Davinci.We don't
know,cause that man is dead..
But we DO know that God can do everything,so why not?When i was a kid
i believed that his name sure means
Leonardo Of Venice!But i know that can't
be true.

Actually it is almost true... Leonardo Da Vinci means "Leonardo of Vinci". The town of Vinci in Italy is half-way between Venice and Rome (easy to find by Googleing "Vinci Italy Wiki"). The name is derived from the fact that Leonardo came from that town. By Googleing "Leonardo Da Vinci Wiki", access a good review of him. He may be dead, but left an amazing record of his thoughts and ideas to posterity. These can be read in "The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci" (compiled by Jean-Paul Richter. ;-)

va bene

The thing I would like to ask is,this documentary was aired on which channel?Was it aired on Discovery Channel?

despite any other things , the man was more than genius ..

Why are so many Leonardo originals (>600) kept in the home the British queen?

Because after his death his notes were cut into pieces and over the centuries bought and collected by the wealthiest and mightiest ... e.g. The British Monarchy, the Vatican, and recently Bill Gates...

This is because to this day his observations astound scientists. The workings of e.g. the valves of hearts was only recently "understood", yet LDV described it all in minute detail over 500 years ago.

maybe he wrrotr left handed an paint right handed
