Five centuries after his death, scientists are attempting to reconstruct the genetic code of Leonardo da Vinci. The **Leonardo DNA Project**, an international collaboration launched in 2016, is combining genealogy, archaeology, and molecular biology to determine whether remains thought to be his truly belong to the Renaissance master, and to reveal new insights into his life. Since Leonardo left no children, researchers Alessandro Vezzosi and Agnese Sabato traced his paternal lineage through archival records dating back to 1331. Their new book documents 21 generations and more than 400 individuals, identifying 15 living male-line relatives. Six of these men underwent DNA testing, and all were found to share the same Y chromosome signature, confirming the continuity of the da Vinci male line over nearly 700 years. The next step involves comparing this DNA to bone fragments excavated from a family tomb in Vinci, believed to contain Leonardo’s grandfather, uncle, and half-brothers. Early analysis shows at least one specimen belonged to a male of the correct period. If the Y chromosome matches, it could authenticate Leonardo’s genealogy and enable sequencing of his genome. Such a genetic portrait could clarify physical traits like eye color, skin pigmentation, or health predispositions, offering context to his genius without attempting to explain it. Researchers even hope to test biological traces left on Leonardo’s notebooks or artworks, potentially linking him directly to disputed objects. Beyond DNA, the project is rewriting Leonardo’s history. New evidence suggests his mother, Caterina, may have been enslaved, while a mysterious “Unicorn Dragon” drawing, recently discovered in Vinci, could expand his artistic legacy. For the town of his birth, and for science, the endeavor represents a rare chance to connect molecular biology with cultural heritage.
