Born in 1452, Leonardo da Vinci is still, today, considered one of the most talented people ever to have lived. From his world famous paintings and drawings, such as the Mona Lisa and the Vitruvian Man, to his ingenious inventions of the parachute, the helicopter, and the military tank, da Vinci was always a step ahead of his time. Discover the origins of a man who refused to be defined by just one vocation. Whether science and engineering or architecture and art, Leonardo da Vinci was the ultimate Renaissance Man.
When she turned thirteen years old, Anne received a gift that would change her life: a personal diary. In it, she expressed her desires, fears and hopes while living in confinement with her family during World War II.

In 1990, after 27 years of political imprisonment, Nelson Mandela regained his freedom ready to forgive and invite his people to follow in his footsteps, to heal the deep wounds of a divided society.

Discover, from the beginning, the life of the man who showed that love and hope can conquer hate and resentment.
