Leonardo da vinci was born in the year 1452 in the small hill town of Vinci. His father was a successful notary and his mother a peasant woman.
When he was about 12 years old, Leonardo moved to the bustling city of Florence with his father.
The ruler of Florence sent Leonardo to Milan in 1482 bearing a silver lute as a gift to the powerful and warlike ruler of Milan, Duke Lodovico Sforza.
From 1514 to 1516 Leonardo lived in Rome and worked under the patronage of Prince Giuliani the Magnificent, brother of Pope Leo X.
Shortly after his patron Giuliano died in 1516, Leonardo left Italy forever to live and work in France. Leonardo died in his home in France on May 2, 1519.
For the first five years of his life he lived in Anchiano, a nearby village of Vinci. He then went to live with his father, his fathers new wife and his grandparent in Vinci. In 1466, Leonardo da Vinci was apprenticed to the successful artist Verrocchio. He was apprenticed until 1472. It is unknown exactly where he lived during these six years. He may have continued to live with his father or he may have lived at Verrocchio's workshop. During the rest of his life, Leonardo da Vinci spent his time going between Florence and Milan.
