YOUNG LEONARDO

As Leonardo catapults himself across the plaza to save his friend Mona Lisa and stop the bomb, a jealous master artisan made to ruin his competitor, the conflicts are all resolved. The script presents master artist, Leonardo da Vinci as an eleven-year-old whose belief in his art and invention arouses conflict at home with a restrictive step-mother. Although a loving father, Petro aligns with his wife which causes further conflict. The story takes form through new characters, actions, friendships and the reader experiences the mind of an historic master artist at a young age and how he became free to become the great master he was, with Mona Lisa at his side. It is an entertaining journey, even if fantasy, to see what Leonardo Da Vinci might have faced to become the great man he did.

Eleven-year-old Leonardo da Vinci is the nerdy tech Dennis the Menace of the Renaissance. He lives in the sleepy hamlet of Vinci where he alternately amazes and terrorizes his family, father, Ser Piero and stepmother, Albiera. Most of his inventions are brilliant catastrophes but it's really not his fault. Every time he tries to be a normal boy who obeys the rules, his pet crow, Crow, whispers an incredibly great idea that's sure to work (this time). But no one believes that the crow keeps egging him on because Leonardo is the only one who hears him talking. Crow knows just how to tap into Leonardo's big dream of becoming the first human in history to fly. The boy is given an ultimatum...learn a trade!! So, his father sends him to Baker's Apprentice School in Florence. He's quickly thrown out for mischief. Starving and alone, Leo and Crow wander through Florence and find the Guiseppifruuti School of Art, where they meet the evil, flamboyant Guiseppifrutti (a 15th Century Salvador Dali type). Leo becomes a student. While there, he learns about the Master's plan to bomb Florence to destroy his rivals and also meets eleven-year-old, Lisa, a poor street girl who want to learn to paint. Leonardo and Lisa must save the day!
