Vinci Attractions
The township of Vinci, in fertile countryside on the southern slopes of Monte Albano, was the birthplace of the great artist, engineer and scientist Leonardo da Vinci (born 1452, died at Amboise, in France, 1519).
Museo Leonardiano
The medieval castle in Vinci, subsequently rebuilt several times, was opened in 1986 as the Leonardo Museum. It contains a number of models based on Leonardo's drawings. The affiliated library contains reproductions of drawings and handwriting of the universal genius. The house in which Leonardo is said to have been born is 3km/2mi outside the town of Archiano.
