Zoro, pupil to the great Leonardo Da Vinci, finds that his master is building a mysterious flying machine, in a story based on a true event.

In this book there are collected the three theories about the most studied and famous painting in history, Leonardo's Gioconda, expressed during a round table within the event Genio Fiorentino 2006 [Florentine Genius 2006], promoted by the Province of Florence and entitled Mona Lisa: The Hidden Face of Leonardo . The three authors offer new interpretations of this masterpiece: Schwartz and Manetti's theories are based on the firm belief that Mona Lisa is the idealized self portrait of Leonardo; Vezzosi claims that Mona Lisa does not represent Francesco Del Giocondo's wife, which is contrary to what most of Leonardo's experts believe. Lillian Schwartz supplies convincing facts to support her theories: the image under the painting revealed by the X-rays shows a different face from the one that appears on the surface. On the original face, perhaps the portrait of a real woman, Leonardo would have imprinted the actual features until he obtained the painting we know today. What Lillian does not explain is why Leonardo would have done this. Manetti's hypothesis supplies an answer to this question, thus strengthening Schwartz's research. Manetti believes in fact that Mona Lisa, initially conceived as a real portrait, ended up in an ideal image, the iconic talisman of Leonardo's hidden face, the guiding spirit which the stilnovista tradition allegorically represented with the female angel and, therefore, with the feminine nature. Alessandro Vezzosi expresses the prudent opinion of the academic world that demands proof more solid than those offered by the computer. But with his text he provides us with a fascinating and attentive explanation of the Gioconda's history. This book, through the reading and confrontation of these three brief essays, offers itself to the judgment and the close examination of the readers.

Zoro, pupil to the great Leonardo Da Vinci, finds that his master is building a mysterious flying machine, in a story based on a true event.

Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolò Machiavelli, and Cesare Borgia—three iconic figures whose intersecting lives provide the basis for this astonishing work of narrative history. They could not have been more different, and they would meet only for a short time in 1502, but the events that transpired when they did would significantly alter each man’s perceptions—and the course of Western history. In 1502, Italy was riven by conflict, with the city of Florence as the ultimate prize. Machiavelli, the consummate political manipulator, attempted to placate the savage Borgia by volunteering Leonardo to be Borgia’s chief military engineer. That autumn, the three men embarked together on a brief, perilous, and fateful journey through the mountains, remote villages, and hill towns of the Italian Romagna—the details of which were revealed in Machiavelli’s frequent dispatches and Leonardo’s meticulous notebooks. Superbly written and thoroughly researched, The Artist, the Philosopher, and the Warrior is a work of narrative genius—whose subject is the nature of genius itself.
