To mark the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death, join our new tour following in the footsteps of Leonardo, from the small Tuscan village where he was born, to his magnificent masterpiece ‘The Last Supper’ in Milan. Perhaps the world’s greatest polymath, Leonardo’s legacy includes not only exceptional paintings, but also innovative machines and inventions which were centuries ahead of his era. We will see reconstructions of some of his greatest inventions, and visit galleries which hold some of his most famous works.
For further inspiration, read Juliet Rix's article In the Footsteps of Leonardo which was published in The Times in December 2018.
