In his lifetime, Leonardo completed a large number of scientific manuscripts (well over 4000 pages!) where he kept his notes of his studies and made a lot of sketches on a wide range of interests and preoccupations. Many of his most famous works are also not in Italy (just think of the famous Monna Lisa conserved at the Louvre in Paris), although one of the most famous in Italy which can be still be visited is his Last Supper affresco found in the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. Many works by Leonardo da Vinci still exist today, but many others have been lost through the centuries. In fact, he died in France precisely because his knowledge and fame was known, and King Francis I of France requested him go work at his court. Leonardo da Vinci was a true genius, one of the few whose work and skill was appreciated during his own lifetime and not only after his death. Leonardo was a diligent scholar of anatomy and relentless inventor and designer. Having lived between 14, he continues to be the symbol of the Renaissance and its rebirth, with his attention dedicated to the arts including painting, sculpture, architecture, music, design and choreography for plays (which he loved). Leonardo da Vinci is without a doubt one of the most famous Tuscan and Italian historical figures of all time.
