Oct 6, 2022
Have you ever wondered where the great Leonardo da Vinci was born? Well, his hometown is right outside of Florence! If you're looking for a day trip that will give insight into not only art and history but also science then head on over to Italy's Tuscany region- specifically a town called Vincino. You'll get plenty opportunities while there spend time exploring this beautiful countryside as well learn something new about one man who made waves throughout all three disciplines:
The town of Vinci is a small, but quaint community that has been home to many great artists. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience while visiting Italy then make sure and take one trip out there! You won’t regret it!
Vitruvian Man
Leonardo da Vinci was born in this picturesque town, and you can't miss the signs if you visit. There's a museum dedicated to his work with models of some incredible inventions he created while living here which is called the Leonardo da Vinci Museum! After touring around all morning or so we recommend taking time out for lunch before walking up onto one terrace after another until yours has no end - each providing wonderful views over Montalbano Countryside as well modern life size "Vitruvian Man" sculpture crafted by Mario Ceroli.
Anchiano
A delicious and relaxing lunch awaits you at Anchiano, the town where Da Vinci lived for a time. If walking is more your speed instead of driving or taking public transportation then make sure to pack sturdy shoes as there are some uneven paving stones on this route! Once finished eating, head out into these magical olive groves that once inspired him so many years ago - take plenty of water too because it can get really dry between all those trees...but don't worry; they're just waiting patiently behind every curve until we return again one day soon!
When you visit Anchiano, the home of Leonardo da Vinci has been transformed into a museum. You'll get to meet him hologram-style and hear stories from his life - including places he traveled or met some interesting people! Spending your day here is an unforgettable experience in Tuscany that any curious traveler should take advantage of.
