Leonardo da Vinci´s Home in France (Amboise)
Leonardo, Leonardo
You moved to Amboise in 1516
King Francois I. gave you a home here.
He visited you through a secret passage
He bought one of your paintings
You named it “Mona Lisa”.
You were an early event planner,
arranging festivities and lavish parties for the king and his friends.
You invented machinery for war and peace.
You were far ahead of your time,
a painter, sculptor, musician, poet, architect amd learned man.
Centuries after your death
IBM used your blueprints to build the machines you envisioned.
They all work!
