Leo Da Vinci

This lovingly crafted animated series follows the young genius Leonardo da Vinci in 15th-century Florence: 15-year-old Leonardo da Vinci studies painting in Florence and tinkers with new inventions in his secret laboratory. He embarks on exciting adventures with his friends Lisa, who looks after the horses in the palace of the Medici family who rule Florence, and Lollo, who works as a cook. With his extraordinary wealth of ideas, he helps the powerful Medici family stop a mysterious conspirator. The series combines adventure, creativity, and ingenuity with historical references, focusing on child-friendly themes such as courage, solidarity, and friendship. The young universal genius Leo is a positive role model for elementary school children as he masters his challenges with imagination, a big heart, and technical curiosity.
