Hello again! As you all know my name is Leonardo da Vinci. I am going to let you now a little bit about my history! I was born April 15th 1452 in, the present day, Florence, Italy; therefore I am Italian. I am the illegitamite son of Messer Piero Fruosino di Antonio da Vinci, a Florentine legal notary, and Caterina, a peasant. My true full birth name was, "Lionardo di ser Piero da Vinci". It means, "Leonardo, (son) of (Mes)ser Piero from Vinci. I spent my first five years in the hamlet of Anchiano in the home of my mother, then from 1457 lived in the household of my father, grandparents and uncle in the small town of Vinci. My father married a sixteen-year-old girl named Albiera, who died young. I received an informal education in Latin, geometry and mathematics but did not show any particular signs of aptitude. When I was sixteen my father married again, twenty-year-old Francesca Lanfredini. It was not until his third and fourth marriage that Ser Piero produced legitimate heirs. Thats all for now, Thanks for following me through this journey!
See you next time,
Leonardo da Vinci
