La Vigna di Leonardo, said to have been da Vinci’s vineyard, has been closed after French billionaire Bernard Arnault bought the property. Now, nobody knows if the site will reopen to the public – or sell its wine for charity, as before.
For over 500 years, it has been a connection to one of the most famous – and elusive – men of all time. La Vigna di Leonardo – or Leonardo’s Vineyard – is said to be what remains of the Milan vineyard owned by Leonardo da Vinci.
Until now, visitors have been able to wander through the house – which was renovated in the 1920s and again after World War II by Piero Portaluppi, perhaps Milan’s greatest architect of the time. Portaluppi’s family owned the building. The hour-long audioguided visit to the property took in Renaissance frescoes, beautifully carved wooden inlay on the walls, and Portaluppi’s clean, modern style, before opening out onto the garden and the vineyard itself.
