Leonardo’s Madonna dei Fusi

Leonardo da Vinci spent some five years living and working in and around Arezzo and the city is proud to host his painting ‘La Madonna dei Fusi’ for five months. The painting was commissioned in 1501 by Florimond Robertet, secretary of state to Louis XII. It is now privately owned by an American collector and is particularly dear to the Aretino heart as the background features local countryside.
