500 hundred years ago today, the world lost one of its brightest shining stars. The original Renaissance Man \u2013 artist, engineer, scientist and inventor \u2013 Leonardo da Vinci continues to be one of the most influential figures in history. His gifts to humanity include the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and The Vitruvian Man, and he was the first father of flight and anatomy. His accomplishments are endless, his imagination limitless and his curiosity boundless. Half a millennium after his death, he remains a symbol of creativity and innovation to people around the world.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cHe changed my life because he made me understand that you can never stop being curious, being open to differences, and to embrace changes in your life, travel to see new things and be yourself.\u201d – Giacomo Giamboi, Trafalgar Travel Director, Italy\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To celebrate the life and achievements of this iconic man, we want to share with you some little-known facts about the late, great Leonardo Da Vinci.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. He was an animal lover and, probably, a vegetarian<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cDoes not nature produce enough simple food for thee to satisfy thyself?\u201d (from\u00a0The Literary Works of Leonardo da Vinci<\/em>\u00a0by Jean Paul Richter)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Despite such quotes as this, the debate on whether Da Vinci was or wasn’t a vegetarian rages on. But, one thing is indisputable, he loved animals. He was known to buy birds from the local market just to later let them free. And, in quotes such as this, we see him even questioning man’s supposed superiority over animals, \u201cMan has great power of speech, but the greater part thereof is empty and deceitful. The animals have little, but that little is useful and true; and better is a small and certain thing than a great falsehood.\u201d (from Da Vinci’s\u00a0Codice Atlantico<\/em>)\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. He was Lord of the (Tree) Rings<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He wasn’t the first to realise that you could tell the age of a tree by counting its rings, but never one to leave well enough alone, Da Vinci took this observation one step further. It was he who first discovered that you could ascertain information about the climate and other environmental conditions of a given year based on the width between each ring. This realization pathed the way to the modern scientific method of dendrochronology which has given us invaluable insight into past weather patterns allowing us to better predict future climate cycles.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. He was never formally educated<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The illegitimate son of a lawyer and a peasant, Da Vinci received only basic home schooling in Latin and mathematics before being sent to Florence to serve as apprentice to prominent artist Andrea del Verrocchio. It was the drive to satisfy his natural curiosities that led him to educate himself in the various disciplines that would form the foundation of his scholarly achievements.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. According to the artist, the Mona Lisa was never finished<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Between his obsession with continued education and his penchant for perfection, Da Vinci was known for starting projects only to abandon them before completion. He was also a slow worker, spending more than three years on his famous works\u00a0The Last Supper <\/em>and\u00a0The Adoration of the Magi<\/em>. And, even after five long years, the\u00a0Mona Lisa\u00a0<\/em>was never considered finished by the artist. This is the reason some scholars believe he didn’t date many of his pieces. In his mind, they were still works in progress.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. He was almost executed<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At age 24, Da Vinci and some male companions were arrested and charged with sodomy; a charge that at the time held a penalty of death. Luckily, the charges were eventually dropped when the prosecutors failed to find a witness to verify the accusations. But the event shook the artist so much, he left Florence for Milan shortly after.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

6. He built one of the world’s first robots<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the year 1495, Da Vinci designed and built an automated knight, later known as ‘Leonardo’s Robot’. Using a system of pullies and cables, the robot was able to sit, stand, move its arms and even raise its visor.\u00a0\u00a0The knight was said to have been displayed during a party at the court of Milan.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As we celebrate the life of this brilliant visionary, we encourage you to follow in his footsteps, pushing boundaries and going out to discover the wonders of the world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

\u201cIt had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.\u201d \u2013 Leonardo da Vinci\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Walk the streets of Florence and Milan that once inspired this great master on our\u00a0Best of Italy<\/a> trip, and experience first-hand how his work has left an indelible mark on Italian culture and our everyday lives.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
