Description
Excerpt: HIS BIRTH Leonardo Da Vinci, the many?sided genius of the Italian Renaissance, was born, as his name implies, at the little town of Vinci, which is about six miles from Empoli and twenty miles west of Florence. Vinci is still very inaccessible, and the only means of conveyance is the cart of a general carrier and postman, who sets out on his journey from Empoli at sunrise and sunset. Outside a house in the middle of the main street of Vinci to?day a modern and white?washed bust of the great artist is pointed to with much pride by the inhabitants.
