Leonardo da Vinci remembered 500 years after his death as French-Italian feud over artwork continues.
This year, myriad celebrations of Renaissance-era genius Leonardo da Vinci are opening across Europe to mark the 500th anniversary of his death.
Da Vinci's birthplace, northwest of Florence, also is vying for attention on Thursday by opening a new exhibit to complement existing tourist attractions. The new exhibition will include small strands of dark hair that belonged to da Vinci and which were acquired from a private U.S. collection -- on view for the first time.
The joint Franco-Italian da Vinci celebrations on Thursday come after months of mounting diplomatic tension between the two nations -- although a feud between the two countries over his artwork goes back decades. Known also for"The Last Supper" and"Vitruvian Man," as well as his codex, notebooks and sketches, da Vinci's works have fascinated millions for centuries. His interests spanned art, architecture, science, music and math to name just a few.
