Leonardo's last home showcases his ingenious inventions through working models displayed inside the Renaissance mansion and across its sprawling grounds, plus his original bedroom where he died.
“On the first floor is the bedroom in which he died in 1519, together with his study. Finally, the cellars are devoted to his extraordinary machines, which are dotted around the grounds.”
