The father of the great artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci was the Florentine notary Sero Pierro da Vinci. But who was his mother? In addition to the name - Katerina - nothing is known about her, the story of her life is covered with darkness.
The author of the essay is trying to open the veil of the secrets of the origin of the mysterious genius of the Renaissance. Based on the analysis of a number of facts and evidence, he puts forward a hypothesis that the artist’s mother could be an Abkhaz or Circassian slave brought to Italy from the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus. The romantic connection of the slave of Katerina with a young notary of Serr Pierro da Vinci ended with the birth of a boy who received the name of Leonardo at baptism.
