About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

At the end of his apprenticeship, in 1472, Leonardo was accepted into the Painters Guild of Florence.
One of Leonardo's first commissions was to paint a young lady named Ginevra de Benci. This is believed to have occurred around 1474.
As far as history knows, Leonardo da Vinci was never married and had no children.
Homosexuality was illegal in the papal states. In 1476, at age 24, Leonardo was accused of sodomy - twice. He was publicly humiliated but later released when nothing could be proven. The main reason why nothing could be proven was because both complaints were anonymous and Florentine law said that complaints must be signed.
Instead, Leonardo may simply have poured his passion and curiosity into his art and his inventions instead of into sex. He wrote the following in his notebooks - Intellectual passion drives out sensuality.
