Discover Leonardo is a space designed for Bellosguardo guests wanting to let themselves be fascinated by the most famous Italian character in the world. There is no art, science or invention of which Leonardo was not a master, there is no field he was not an expert in. To discover everything surrounding who Leonardo was and what he accomplished is almost impossible, however, Bellosguardo offers the opportunity to get closer to the inventor, the artist and the man in a completely different manner. Seeing, touching, visiting the machines he designed, looking at them as he imagined them when he designed them, reliving his story and the lesser-known anecdotes of his life, in his land, on his hills, immersed in nature, without any architectural barriers, in the open air.
