Did you know Leonardo was an illegitimate child born during what scholars have called a ‘Golden Age’ for Bastards?
How did he fuel his curiosity? This was a man who believed ‘learning never exhausts the mind.’ That is to say he was always learning. His early years were spent living on his father’s family estate in Vinci.

He had a very short formal schooling, he was largely an autodidact.
