The answer as to where the best place to go if you love the work of Leonardo Da Vinci varies year to year and month to month depending on your own specific area of interest and current exhibitions. Those who are interested in the inventor can see his creations brought to life in a museum dedicated to this task in Florence, those who want to see his most famous paintings can head to the Louvre, those interested in the man can go to his hometown of Alighieri. Until April 1st 2024, meanwhile, those interested in his drawings should consider booking a villa in Livorno. Plan a spring getaway on the Tuscan Coast and learn more about the great Renaissance master while you are at it!
Opened in the Museo della Città in Livorno, the exhibition, “Leonardo da Vinci. Beauty and Invention,” brings together 15 autograph drawings by Leonardo da Vinci from the Atlantic Codex from the Veneranda Ambrosiana Library in Milan and the Codex on the Flight of Birds from the Royal Library of Turin. Alongside these great pieces are a range of other drawings and works by Leonardo, for a total of 70 works on display.
Immersing viewers in the mind of Leonardo and his incredibly meticulous study of nature that surpassed a vast majority of his contemporaries, it is a rich, beautiful, and illuminating exhibition that is truly unmissable for any Leonardo-lovers who are considering a vacation in Tuscany (and a holiday rental in Livorno in particular) this spring!
