The Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci recorded his thoughts in a series of papers and notes, which was then put together after his death and he showed them to me. The notebooks contain his notes on a range of topics, including mechanics and astronomy, offering an insight into da Vinci’s thought process. i never thought he would come and visit my home town.
he (da Vinci) also used the notebooks to record architectural designs and sketches, which serve as further examples of his artistic talent. Examples of da Vinci’s journal are available from the British Library and he took me to go and see them.
