Leonardo's last mystery is revealed, his mother's origins come from ancient people

Leonardo Da Vinci is undoubtedly one of the greatest boasts of the Italian Renaissance. The famous artist and inventor, author of the most famous and enigmatic painting in the world, La Gioconda, or Mona Lisa as it is otherwise known, has a story that has inspired hundreds of books and films.

One of his last mysteries was paradoxically his origin. Everyone knows that he was born in Vinci, an insignificant center in Tuscany.

While almost everything is known about his father Piero da Vinci, a Florentine notary, there were only a few hypotheses about his mother until now.

She was initially identified as Caterina di Meo Lippi, a 16-year-old girl of humble origins, but the name Caterina, then used to identify female slaves, has called this approach into question.

But Carlo Vecce, an Italian professor, philologist and historian of the Renaissance at the Oriental University of Naples, has found in the Archives of Florence an original document of the time, signed by Piero da Vinci, where what is described as "Caterina, the daughter" is freed from slavery of Jacob, a slave of Circassian origin".

The Circassians are an autochthonous population of the Caucasus, which due to historical events has been displaced for the most part in Turkey and Russia, and in the Middle East, even a community of about 1200 lived in Kosovo after 1858, while today they are only several dozen.

But according to the professor, her origins were not humble, she was even the daughter of a Circassian prince who fell into captivity while still a teenager, most likely after a Tartar attack, starting an ordeal that took her first to Constantinople and then sold in Venice, and finally in Florence, in a wealthy family.

It was there that the 26-year-old Piero met the same-age Caterina, starting a secret relationship due to differences in status, from which their son, the genius Leonardo, was born on April 15, 1452.

A few months later, in November, Piero would buy the freedom of his son's mother from the Redditi family, giving Caterina the freedom and dignity she deserved.
