interest was sparked in da Vm
it be< arise his mothers family
came from an area in Italy
where da Vinci owned some
land and frequented He grew
up hearing about da Vinci and
liegan to study him
"Leonardo is one of the
greatest and most admired gen
iuses in history and has been
honored for his marvelous
works of art. his acute human
istic and scientific insight and
mechanical inventiveness, all
ot which paved the way for an
improved and enjoyable exis
fence," lac Russo said.
"Leonardo is not the* renais
sance man. be is instead the
impossible man It is impossi
ble to believe all the things he
did. impossible to believe his
depth, impossible to believe his
width, impossible to believe
the* things he knew." lac Russo
said
He hopes that play will
"show an unseen side1, it is an
inward search into Leonardo."
