Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15th, 1452 in a farmhouse in Anchiano, which is 3km away from Vinci in Italy. Considered one of the worlds genius', he was not only a renaissance painter, but also a architect, engineer, mathmatician and philosopher. He was born in Anchiano Italy to be exact. He died on May 2 1519 in Amboise, at which time he was 67 yrs. old. He wrote his last will on April 23rd 1519. He was in poor health from paralysis on the right side of his body. Originally he was buried in the heart of the King's castle (King Frances 1st) in the cloister of San Fiorentino, but after the destruction of the church the mortal remains were transferred to the Chapel of St. Hubert (which ironically is the name of the Catholic School I attended as a young boy).
Mona Lisa (La Gioconda) wife of Francesco del Gioconda 1478-1528 is featured in what is perhaps the most famous painting in the world, many claim even more famous than Leonardo's famous "Last Supper." She was born in Florence, Italy and the painting of her currently resides at the Louvre, Paris, France.
