Leonardo Da Vinci: the childhood

In the early childhood, Leonardo lived in Anchiano. When he was a boy, he moved in Florence with his father and his stepmother. He was good in drawing, he was able to play music and he was involved in nature observation. Because he was born illegitimate, he couldn't enjoy the notary career. We can say he wasn't completely happy as a child: especially he missed the mother figure.

A day, observing the boy drawing on a wood piece, his father Piero decided to let him enjoy a bottega, and sent him to the Verrocchio's workshop. Here, the boy started to practice drawing, paintings and handicrafts.
Leonardo started to become excellent. He worked hard, asking himself to be the best at every task.
