If you want not only to enjoy the views, but also to join the heritage of the great Italian, then we advise you to take a closer look at the tourist route to the places of Leonardo da Vinci!
Day 1
We recommend starting the tour in Tuscany, where you can find for living both an old farmhouse and a luxurious villa. The architecture of Tuscany has been preserved since the Renaissance and remembers such outstanding personalities as Galileo Galilei. Monuments of Florentine art will immerse you in the world that gave us the genius of Leonardo da Vinci, which can then be felt in Florence itself, located 15 minutes drive from the village where the villa is located.
Day 2
The next day should be devoted to acquaintance with Florence, where the young Leonardo got at the age of 14 years. The surrounding nature fascinated him so much that he did not let go of the brush from his hands and made a huge number of sketches, honing his skills. In 1472, the twenty-year-old Leonardo already became a member of the Guild of Artists.
In the city there is necessarily the main square - Piazza della Signoria, then walk to Piazzale Michelangelo to stroll along the Arno River. After half an hour of walking, you will come to the old square with its ancient and majestic architecture, where the life of the tourist heart of Florence is in full swing. Works by Leonardo of the Florentine period can be found in the Uffizi Gallery, at exhibitions in the palazzo Vecchio.
Day 3
The third day is devoted to exploring the village of Vinci, located 30 km from Florence. It was she who gave the surname Leonardo. In the local museum it will be possible to get acquainted with the inventions of the great scientist, and in the neighboring village of Anciano, the house where Leonardo was born has been preserved. There is also a museum dedicated to the early years of his life. In the private villa Villa del Ferrale you can see reproductions of many works by Leonardo.
Day 4
The fourth day will be devoted to the inventions of Leonardo and will begin on Mount Checheri, from where the scientist flew on the wings designed by him, and his assistant Tommaso Masini took off on a flying car. Leonardo da Vinci raved about the ideas of flight and was far ahead of his time in development.
