It was great to be on stage with @WalterIsaacson Isaacson Carmen Bambach Mario Livio @kencen to talk about #LeonardoDaVinci and watch @KenBurnss footages on his forthcoming documentary on the artist. Great to see so many alumni too @ItalyinUS @art_uva @UVA @UVa_LifetimeLrn

Leonardo da Vinci drew inspiration from the natural world, particularly water. 🇮🇹🌊 As part of RiverRun’s “FLOW” series, @kencen presented @KenBurns’ forthcoming documentary “LEONARDISSIMO!—Leonardo da Vinci’s World and Its Waters.”

Happy birthday to the man who came closest to knowing everything possible about all that was knowable in his time.

Yesterday another piece of fiction on #LeonardodaVinci emerged: a Leonardo scholar found the artist's mother. In 2017 another Leonardo scholar had found another mother. The search on lost pieces of Leonardo's life and art continues. https://t.co/nT2kZpJKGl

@FFf6f connects the falsely broken academic and artistic lives of Leonardo da Vinci, in a text as inquisitive and brilliant as its subject. Fiorani draws on extensive expertise, seamlessly joining prose and fact, crafting an intimate yet fascinating read. A true frontier pusher
