Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in the village of Anciano, near the small town of Vinci, not far from Florence at "three o'clock in the morning" that is at 22:30 according to the modern time reference [source not specified 918 days]. Noteworthy entry in the diary of Leonardo's grandfather, Antonio da Vinci (1372-1468) (literal translation): "On Saturday, at three o'clock in the morning of April 15, my grandson, the son of my son Piero, was born. The boy was named Leonardo. His father was baptized by Piero di Bartolomeo. " His parents were the 25-year-old notary Pierrot (1427-1504) and his lover, the peasant Katerina. Leonardo spent the first years of his life with his mother. His father soon married a rich and noble girl, but this marriage was childless, and Piero took his three-year-old son to be raised. Separated from his mother, Leonardo tried all his life to recreate her image in his masterpieces. At that time he lived with his grandfather.
In Italy at that time, illegitimate children were treated almost like legal heirs. Many influential people of the city of Vinci took part in the future fate of Leonardo.
When Leonardo was 13 years old, his stepmother died during childbirth. The father got married again - and again soon became a widower. He lived 77 years, was married four times and had 12 children. Father tried to attach Leonardo to the family profession, but without success: the son was not interested in the laws of society.
Leonardo did not have a surname in the modern sense; "Da Vinci" means simply "(native) from the town of Vinci." His full name is Italian. Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, that is, "Leonardo, the son of Mr. Pierrot of Vinci."
