Leonardo, the lake and the popes

Il libro

A day out of time at Castel Gandolfo, where Leonardo da Vinci is reborn to explore the wonders of the Alban Hills, in the company of the author.

Between the papal residences, the astronomical observatory and the shores of the volcanic lake, the genius from Vinci dialogues with the present, revealing intimate thoughts about family and friendships, reflecting on his extraordinary artistic and scientific career, and confronting the challenges of our time.

A literary journey that combines the beauty of one of the most evocative villages in Lazio with the human and intellectual depth of the greatest genius of the Renaissance.

This story is a tribute to Leonardo da Vinci, a universal symbol of human genius, but it is also a tribute to all those places in Italy that hold treasures of art and history, to all those conversations that we would have liked to have and that only imagination can still make possible for us.
