Leonardo da Vinci was born in the year of 1452 in Anchiano, Tuscany (now Italy) and died in the year of 1519 in Cloux, France. Also his parents were never married (just like me), then at an early age his mother married another man and started a new family.

"The Last Supper" was made in the time about section of about 1495-1498. "Mona Lisa" was made in about the time section of 1503-1506. In 1506 he moved back to Milan for 7 years then he moved to Rome for 3 more. In 1516 he moved from Italy for good, and went to France due to a very generous offer from French Ruler Francis 1. When he died he was buried at a church called "Saint-Florentin". He died at the age of 67. When I first saw the painting of Mona Lisa I liked it from the get go. I actually just heard that there was a painting that looks just like Mona Lisa that was just found in a country in South
