In Vinci, hence his name. His full name "Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci" literally translated means Leonardo, (son) of lord Pierro of Vinci. His father, the aforementioned Pierro was lord and heir of Vinci castle, which was an estate, almost a village near Pisa. His mother was an estate laborer. Although Pierro recognized Leonardo as his child, he and the girl never married. Still as a member of the house of Vinci, Leonardo was born in Vinci castle and spend his childhood there before being sent to Pisa to study as an apprentice sculptor.

Vinci Castle still stands today and, restored to the way it may have looked in Leonardo's time, serves as a museum.

No. he was born in austria, in a region that was called old palestine!

Wrong biography

Vinci Castle is the name of the property, just like micheal jacksons's never land...micheal's last name is not, neverland, is it! but leonardo is the only one who gets a last name after his paternal grandmother’s city and her ever love and appreciation of the place, her family loved Vinci! her son the biological father of leonrdo, was not allowed in the city no more for humiliating his mother with a rape grandson. davinci was raised by his mother, not like what i read here in this discussion, and he got davinci for a last name at his later years. So many intellectuals in modern days are, single mother's sons!he didn't live in that castle.

Leonardo Da Vinci was born in "VINCI" republic of florence, province of Florence in Italy in April 15-1452.
