On the trail of an absolute genius: Leonardo da Vinci

"What makes you move, oh man, to flee your own homes in the cities and leave behind relatives and friends, go through hills and dales to rural places, if not the natural beauty of the world?" (cit. Leonardo da Vinci)

In the year 2019 it will be celebrated the greatest universal genius that Tuscany ever gave to the entire humanity: Leonardo da Vinci.
The so called "Historical Valdinievole"  is  not only his birth-place, but also the geographical area where the greatest Maestro probably accomplished  the "Angel of San Gennaro",  the only existing example of sculpture in polychrome  terracotta.
Between Vinci and San Gennaro,  his territory has been an endless experimental  laboratory  where a young Leonardo obtained  "science and knowledge", that he led to the highest  levels, even in artistic field. Between Vinci and San Gennaro,  his territory has been an endless  experimental laboratory where a young Leonardo obtained "science and knowledge", that he led to the highest  levels, even in artistic field. In this geographical area, between "mountains and dales", hills and protected marshy territory,  that "imprinting" of shapes and emotions in his later masterpieces of painting, is still alive and enjoyable like unforgettable roots.
