Da VINCI and ME 500 YEARS LATER Author Claudius Petrini Reveals Untold Stories of Leonardo's Early Works

Claudius Petrini’s latest book, Da VINCI and ME: 500 YEARS LATER, offers readers an extraordinary journey into the lesser-known dimensions of one of history’s greatest geniuses. Drawing on recent discoveries, interdisciplinary research, and personal exploration, Petrini challenges conventional narratives to shed new light on the early works of Leonardo da Vinci—pieces that continue to spark intrigue and reveal uncanny coincidences five centuries later.

Unlike traditional art history texts, Da VINCI and ME ventures into intersections often overlooked, connecting forgotten details of Leonardo’s formative years with modern revelations. With a provocative message—that much of what we think we know about da Vinci is almost certainly untrue—Petrini invites readers to reconsider their understanding of the artist, scientist, and visionary.

The author’s inspiration for writing this book stems from a lifelong fascination with da Vinci, intensified by recent controversies such as the $450 million sale of a disputed painting attributed to him. “Early unknown works of Leonardo have always fascinated me,” Petrini explains. “The fact that I was born exactly 500 years after da Vinci makes it an incredible coincidence and connection with this genius who somehow assigned me from the dead to be the one who sheds light on his unknown works from his teenage years by ‘arranging me’ to own eight signed works by him. My encounter with his works is nothing short of a miracle.”

Petrini’s sharp eye and bold assertions challenge readers to question accepted narratives and invite them into a dialogue about art, authenticity, and historical truth.
