About this experience
Discovering origins and legacy of Leonardo da Vinci with aperitif with typical products in the vineyards!
Have you ever wondered where the great Leonardo da Vinci was born? His hometown is right a few minutes from Montecatini Terme! You will have the opportunity to learn about some history, art, and science, while also seeing the beautiful Tuscany countryside.
Your escort will pick you up directly from your accommodation in Montecatini, and you will arrive in about thirty minutes.
The path dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci starts from the birthplace where, according to a centuries-old tradition, he was born on Saturday, April 15, 1452. The birthplace is surrounded by green hills and from here you can admire the beautiful landscape often present in the works of the artist. Here you will have the opportunity to enter the house where a life-size hologram of the artist tells an exciting tale of his extraordinary life.
We continue to Vinci with its characteristic medieval alleys and panoramic views of the green hills.
Vinci is a very picturesque town, you will immediately notice that most things in this town revolve around Leonardo da Vinci.
Here you can have a visit on your own of the famous Museo Leonardiano inside the Castle of the Conti Guidi where you can admire the oldest collection of machines and models dedicated to the work of Leonardo. The Museum also includes the exhibition "Leonardo and painting", an educational exhibition that presents high-resolution and life-size reproductions of Leonardo’s paintings and some drawings.
At the end we will walk together through the small streets of the village and visit the church of S. Croce, where we can admire the ancient baptismal font where Leonardo was baptized.
At this point we will have two different options: during winter season we'll have a delicious light lunch that includes cold cuts, cheeses, bruschetta, focaccia, and a glass of wine or soft drink, and during summer season on the way back we will stop at a farm for a fantastic and suggestive aperitif in the vineyard.
After the exploration, simply sit back, relax, and enjoy your transportation back to Montecatini with your mind full of enchanting memories.
