If you’ve ever aspired to live in a 15th-century palazzo befit for a famed polymath, have I got news for you. According to a new report from Travel + Leisure, a historic, three-story property in the Italian city of Bologna has just hit the market. The kicker? It’s rumored to have been Leonardo da Vinci’s last home in Italy before he moved to France.
The five-bedroom, 6,673 sq. ft. residence is touted as being “one of the best-known and best-preserved fifteenth-century buildings in the city,” and — most notably — features frescoes “from the late school of Leonardo da Vinci.” It’s been recently restored, but has retained many of its original visages — the vaulted ceilings, monumental fireplaces and terracotta details in the courtyard chief among them.
