Leonardoda da Vinci (1452-1519), born in an anchiano, a small mountain village near Florence, is one of the most famous painters in the world.

When I was reading the novel The Da Vinci Code, I saw the author Dan Brown write on the title page of the book: "The Hermitage is a real organization, it is a European secret society founded in 1099. In 1975, the Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris discovered parchment documents known as the Secret Archives, and it became known that many figures, including Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Leonardo da Vinci, were members of the Hermitage. "This book filled me with curiosity about Newton's tomb. After the advent of the Da Vinci Code, it overshadowed the Tomb of Newton in Westminster Abbey, and a "Da Vinci Code" made Westminster Cathedral popular again.

It is said that this would avoid disputes between the queen and the king's mistress. It is said that the "double spiral staircase" of Chambord Castle was designed by Leonardo da Vinci. Regardless of the truth of this claim, Chambord Castle was indeed the place where the love stories of royal celebrities took place.
