Florence
The city of Florence, a fundamental place for Leonardo's life and training, and the capital of the Renaissance, is crossed by the Arno river and is located in the center of Tuscany.
Leonardo arrived in Florence when he was very young
probably in 1469. The city, where he lived in various phases of his life, represented the place of his training but also of great productions, through the contact with masters such as Verrocchio and the major artists and painters of the time.
His relationship with the Medici is fundamental,
in particular with Lorenzo the Magnificent, until the death of Giuliano de’ Medici in Rome, following which he moved to France at the court of Francis I.
