A day trip to Vinci

Known worldwide for being the birthplace of the greatest genius of the Italian Renaissance, Vinci is a perfect place to spend a day full of culture and to explore Tuscan endless vineyards and olive groves, pretty much the same as in Leonardo's time.

Vinci is situated in the hills of Montalbano, a green area divided between Pistoia, Prato and Florence area. The town offers plenty of things to see and many of them are related to Leonardo’s life: the house where he was born, just 3 kilometres from Vinci in the middle of the countryside, the church where he was baptised, the museum that collects his models and machines and the documentation center.
