About
The birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci, the renowned painter, inventor, and polymath, is a modest farmhouse nestled in the picturesque countryside of Anchiano, about 3 km northeast of the Tuscan town of Vinci. Housed in a simple stone building, the site preserves the setting of Leonardo’s early life and offers visitors reproductions of his famed drawings and sketches. Though visitors can wander the grounds freely, the historic house itself is typically closed to the public, so guests are encouraged to explore the surrounding landscape rather than expecting a museum‑like interior.
