Leonardo Da Vinci: New family tree finds 14 living male descendants

[Still Waters]

The surprising results of a decade-long investigation by Alessandro Vezzosi and Agnese Sabato provide a strong basis for advancing a project researching Leonardo da Vinci's DNA.

Their extensive study, published by the journal Human Evolution (Pontecorboli Editore, Florence), documents with new certainty the continuous male line, from father to son, of the Da Vinci family (later Vinci), from progenitor Michele (born 1331) to grandson Leonardo (6th generation, born 1452) through to today—21 generations in all, including five family branches—and identifies 14 living descendants.

The work fills gaps and corrects errors in previous genealogical research into Leonardo's family, while offering new discoveries and family tree updates.

Disambiguation:

I'm receiving numerous letters from fans and I need to get things straight: I am NOT one of those living male descendants of one of Da Vinci's relatives.

Thank you.
