WAS LEONARDO Da VINCI'S MOTHER A WHITE SLAVE?

 A DOCUMENT has been found that is steering academics and researchers to the notion that Leonardo Da Vinci, the genius artist, was not 100% Italian.  Rather his mother had been sex trafficked and started life as a woman from the Caucus of Central Asia.  Called White Slaves to discern that we are not talking slaves from the African continent, it is true that people were captured and put into slavery repeatedly in Europe, in particular the lands that are now the Ukraine.  That's me talking.

Here is one of the articles about this discovery: Arstechnica - Science - LEONARDO DA VINCI's MOTHER A SLAVE  The article mentions various theories that have spawned books on his genealogy.  It mentions that Leonardo's father married a few times and had a great number of children.


Excerpt: As for Vecce, he acknowledged that his own research had been "guided" by the slave hypotheses put forth by Paratico and Vezzosi, although he initially resisted the idea.  But then he discovered a document dated November 2, 1452, six months after Leonardo had been born. emancipating an enslaved Circassian woman named Caterina on behalf of her mistress, the wife of Donato di Felippo di Salvestro Nati.  The notary who signed the document was none other than Ser Piero, Leonardo's father.
