After 43 years of insvestigaciones, two experts found that Leonardo Da Vinci has 35 living relatives and that one of them is the great filmmaker Franco Zeffirelli. There is also a chef, a policeman, an architect, an accountant and a blacksmith.
Alessandro Vezzosi with Agnese Sabato presented yesterday in Florence the results of a multidisciplinary investigation that lasted more than four decades on the ancestors of Leonardo-which did not hijos–, and their immediate families to today. Da Vinci is considered one of the great artists of world history. He was a painter, inventor, writer and scientist, among other activities developed in his 66 years of life
The work of these two scholars allowed no only trace the still living descendants of the father and the family of Leonardo, but also find a surprising name on the family tree of Leonardo: that of Gianfranco Corsi, real name Franco Zeffirelli. Just the famous film director is indeed the son of Ottorino Corsi (who was born and lived in Vinci and subsequently transferred to Florence), grandson of Olinto Corsi, one of the most famous characters from Vinci in the late nineteenth century.
According reconstruction family tree of Vezzosi and Sabato, the Corsi family married into the Da Vinci family in 1794 thanks to the marriage between Michelangelo di Tommaso Corsi and Teresa Alessandra Giovanna Mr. Antonio Giuseppe Da Vinci, direct descendants of Mr. Piero, Leonardo’s father.
“I After some statements the same Zeffirelli explains Vezzosi- on the occasion of the Leonardo Prize in 2007 was awarded by the Neapolitan president, conducted a series of investigations to define exactly the relationship between the family Leonardo Da Vinci and that of the Corsi, and then Zeffirelli. and on those in ancient houses belonging to the family of Leonardo and then Zeffirelli’s ancestors in the town of Vinci. ”
“Our study, as it allows identify living direct descendants of Leonardo’s father for the last 15 generations, it is also important for a scientific reason also offer the possibility of going back to the DNA of Leonardo da Vinci, but this will be the subject of an upcoming international conference with scientists from biology and anthropology, with whom we are working, “Vezzosi said after the event” Leonardo live “
During the study arose other curiosities. by example Leonardo’s grandfather, Antonio, in 1427 declared false data to land, probably to pay less tax. It is also significant unpublished news of the existence of a tomb of Da Vinci, not only in Florence but in Vinci, in the church of Santa Croce.
