According to geneall.net, Leonardo da Vinci's parents were Ser Piero da Vinci and Caterina (no last name listed-no ancestry listed for her outside of her child with da Vinci). It does not appear that they were married. Ser Piero da Vinci is listed as having 4 wives (Albiera, Francesca, Margherita, and Lucrezia-no mention of Caterina as a wife).

He was a notary in Florence.

Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452.

Ser Piero da Vinci lived from 1427 to 1504. He was a notary in Florence.

There are no birth or death dates for Leonardo's mother. She later married a man from Vinci.

Leonardo da Vinci was a famous engineer, mathematician, musician, scientist, inventor, and a painter.

He is thought to be the inventor of many items still in use today. There have even been blueprints found that show Leonardo da Vinci was even trying to invent flying machines, including a device that looks very much like a helicopter.

Leonardo da Vinci was also very ahead of his time because of all the inventions he had came up with and how much grasp he had on technology. He is known as a great artist and some would say he was a "man with a vision".

Leonardo da Vinci was an incredible artist he is well-known for painting the 'Mona Lisa'. The 'Mona Lisa' is a woman sitting in a chair not smiling. He is also well-known for his painting of the 'Last Supper'. Conspiracies have emerged from his depiction of the 'Last Supper' like the person on Jesus' right was suspected to be a woman Mary Magdalene in fact. But art is not all that he is famous for he has done many things that have impacted on society today and his ideas were revolutionary.

Yes, he was a Christian.

Some modern authors have speculated he was homosexual - either active or latent - but documentation contemporary with Leonardo gives no real answer on the subject. Although he left hundreds of pages of writing, almost none of it gives any insight into his relationships with others or sexual proclivities; none of his letters, poetry or diary indicate any romantic interest. About the only reference to sex in any of his papers is a comment that "The act of procreation and anything that has any relation to it is so disgusting that human beings would soon die out if there were no pretty faces and sensuous dispositions. This could be interpreted as an expression of asexuality or just a dry wit.

There is one contemporaneous account of an anonymous accusation of sodomy involving da Vinci (and several others) - the charges were dismissed. The accusation can be seen as: 1) evidence that he was gay or 2) an instance of trying to give importance or credibility to an accusation by including other famous people (and da Vinci was definitely famous at the time),

Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian painter, mathematician, scholar, anatomist, sculptor, engineer, inventor, scientist, architect, poet and writer. He kept a detailed notebook of his ideas and inventions, including a submarine, a flying machine, and other inventions far beyond his timona lme. He wrote in "mirror-writingL" meaning that you have to hold his writing up to a mirror to read it, but no one knows why. He was at times a military inventor for various men in power, and made things like the scorpion (the giant crossbow thing) and a triple barreled cannon. He also planned great scholarly works, but never started them. Of his artwork, only 15 pieces still survive, and most of them are unfinished. His most famous works are the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. He also discovered blood circulation, and made many notes on the human heart. Because he made his discoveries using corpses, he wasn't real poular with the church, but back then, who was? (Galileo, anyone?)
I think he was a great artist andwas better then any one else
Leonardo Davinci stands for"Leonardo from the town of Vinci"

Leonardo got his start as an artist around 1469, when his father apprenticed him to the fabled workshop of Verocchio. Verocchio's specialty was perspective, which artists had only recently begun to get the hang of, and Leonardo quickly mastered its challenges. In fact, Leonardo quickly surpassed Verocchio, and by the time he was in his early twenties he was downright famous. Renaissance Italy was centuries away from our culture of photographs and cinema, but Leonardo nevertheless sought a universal language in painting. With perspective and other realistic elements, Leonardo tried to create faithful renditions of life. In a culture previously dominated by highly figurative and downright strange religious paintings, Leonardo's desire to paint things realistically was bold and fresh. This call to objectivity became the standard for painters who followed in the 16th century. No slouch when it came to the techniques of the day, Leonardo went beyond his teaching by making a scientific study of light and shadow in nature. It dawned on him that objects were not comprised of outlines, but were actually three-dimensional bodies defined by light and shadow. Known as chiaroscuro, this technique gave his paintings the soft, lifelike quality that made older paintings look cartoony and flat. He also saw that an object's detail and color changed as it receded in the distance. This technique, called sfumato, was originally developed by Flemish and Venetian painters, but of course Super-Genius Leonardo transformed it into a powerful tool for creating atmosphere and depth. Ever the perfectionist, Leonardo turned to science in the quest to improve his artwork. His study of nature and anatomy emerged in his stunningly realistic paintings, and his dissections of the human body paved the way for remarkably accurate figures. He was the first artist to study the physical proportions of men, women and children and to use these studies to determine the "ideal" human figure. Unlike many of his contemporaries -- Michelangelo for example -- he didn't get carried away and paint ludicrously muscular bodies, which he referred to as "bags of nuts." All in all, Leonardo believed that the artist must know not just the rules of perspective, but all the laws of nature. The eye, he believed, was the perfect instrument for learning these laws, and the artist the perfect person to illustrate them.
