VINCI
Leonardo's Home Town

The borough of Vinci numbers 14 thousand inhabitants. It is situated in the heart of Tuscany, only a few kilometres from Florence and Pistoia, a stone's throw from Pisa, and within an hour's drive from Lucca and Siena. Vinci extends over an area of 54 sq. km., with a minimum altitude of 26m at Sovigliana and a maximum of 640m on Montalbano (Cupolino), where the greater part of the borough territory may be found.

Vinci, Leonardo's home town, lies in the heart of the most verdant countryside. This gives the surrounding landscape a magical and enchanted quality, worthy of the most suggestive of Leonardo's images.
