Growing up
I was very fortunate to grow up in the environment I had. I was son of Ser Piero, my mother was a peasant girl, Caterina. I was born in April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy. My parents later separated and I stayed with my father. In total I had 17 half sisters and brothers. Growing up I had access to scholarly texts that was owned by my father, which of course I would read. “Wisdom is the knowledge of experience.”When I was about 15 my father apprenticed me to a renowned workshop of Andrea Del Verrochio in Florence, Italy. My father was impressed by the art pieces I created.
