Holidays with Children - Vinci and Leonardo

Everything in Vinci town tells us about the Genius: his house, the church where he was baptized, the streets and the squares of the castle that still have their medieval appearance. Leonardo's presence can be felt everywhere.
Leonardo Museum is considered to be one of the largest and most original collections of machines and models of Leonardo the inventor, technologist and engineer. Each model is shown together with precise references to the artist's sketches and annotations.
The machines exhibited exemplify various fields of interest: there are military machines, machines for construction, scientific instruments and machines for moving through air, water and on land.
Large wooden models of his machines give younger children a tactile understanding of Da Vinci's theories and discoveries, while written explanations posted alongside the models provide a more in-depth explanation for older visitors.
Vinci is about 35 kilometers west of Florence.
