Leonardo moves to Florence

Leonardo moves to Florence
When Leonardo was a boy, he moved to Florence with his family.
Respect to Vinci, Florence was a big town: a vivid urban system, with a lot of opportunities.
Under Lorenzo De Medici government, Florence became a notable town for arts and literature.

After a few time, Leonardo was sent to the Verrocchio workshop. A workshop in Florence was something like a swiss knife, providing a lot of services: paintings, statue building, garden styling, feast organization, and arts in general.

Leonardo started as apprentice, but he quickly learnt to deal with arts like a master.
