Leonardo da Vinci was born in this small medieval town and thus two museums were named after the famous son of this city. You can see his ingenious works and inventions as models here. There is a Castello with a museum in it in the medieval Old Town centre. Restaurants, cafe, pubs and small shops can be found in this historical small town. Here you can take a relaxed stroll and enjoy a cappuccino in the sun. Leonardo's birth house is in Anchiano, somewhat outside of the small town. You can reach Strada Verde by walking along a beautiful panoramic path through olive groves. You can get there in just a few minutes by car, there is sufficient parking space. Entry and parking are free. Unfortunately, the famous and ingenious paintings by Leonardo are strewn across the globe in famous museums, like the 'Mona Lisa' in the Louvre in Paris. However, his models of technical inventions are still here to see
