It’s one of the landmark locations frequented by Leonardo da Vinci, an unknown piece of history, imbued with mystery. To mark the opening of Expo 2015, researchers excavated the plot where Leonardo’s vineyard once stood in the gardens of the Casa degli Atellani, a magnificent Renaissance dwelling situated in front of the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The House and Vineyard museum tour is divided into seven designated areas (the courtyards of Piero Portaluppi, the Zodiac Hall, the Luini Hall, Ettore Conti’s studio, the Staircase Hall, the Garden of Earthly Delights – the novellas of Matteo Bandello and Leonardo’s Vineyard).
