モンスンマーノテルメ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Piazza dei Guidi, designed by Mimmo Paladino in 2006, reorganizes the urban space with stone slabs arranged in a geometric grid. The surfaces are engraved with motifs typical of his artistic universe, recalling symbols and archetypes. The work seeks to create a dialogue between contemporary and traditional, transforming the square into a place of reflection and encounter, where everyday space also becomes an aesthetic experience.

The Castle of the Guidi Counts has dominated Vinci since the Middle Ages. With its walls and stone tower, it retains traces of its defensive history and today houses the Leonardo Museum, with models of Leonardo's machines and studies.

In Piazza Guido Masi, beneath Vinci Castle, stands a wooden sculpture depicting the Vitruvian Man in three dimensions. It was created by Mario Ceroli in 1967, titled Squilibrio (Imbalance), and donated to the Municipality twenty years later. The work does not faithfully reproduce Leonardo's drawing: the figure is inserted into a cube and a sphere, but the proportions are not perfect. Ceroli thus sought to evoke the gap between the ideal harmony of the Renaissance and the uncertainty of the contemporary world.

Impressive place and beautiful hike from the city of Vinci along the "Strada Verde" hiking trail.

It's very beautiful here.

You have to have been there at least once.

Here, visitors can visit the birthplace of the Italian polymath LEONARDO da VINCI (1452 to 1519). Throughout his life, he was involved in various arts (especially painting, sculpture and architecture) as well as in scientific research (e.g. anatomy), and was an inventor and engineer. The place of burial, however, is located in Amboise (Ile-de-France) in France. The assumption that he was buried there in the Hubertus Chapel (if you are interested, see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/958658 ) is not scientifically proven, but is not implausible either, because da VINCI spent the last years of his life in the neighboring castle Le Clos Lucé, where the French king had invited him, and died there on May 2, 1519.

If you pass by those parts you must stop by to visit it and stop a bit in the adjacent clearing to relax in the silence. There are also tables and spaces where you can have a picnic and rest.
