Rai Gulp airs 'Leo da Vinci' animated series about young Leonardo
While Rai 1's live-action series 'Leonardo' sparks debate over fictional elements, Rai Gulp has been airing an animated series 'Leo da Vinci' directed by Sergio Manfio. The show follows a 15-year-old Leonardo arriving in Florence in 1467 with friend Lollo to work in Verrocchio's workshop. It features young Lorenzo de' Medici and Lisa, a friend who helps Leo solve problems. The series is produced by Gruppo Alcuni, co-produced with Rai Ragazzi (Italy), HR and KIKA (Germany), Cosmos-Maya (India), and All Rights Entertainment (France). A related film 'Leo da Vinci – Missione Monna Lisa' (2018) involves Leo, Lisa, and friends searching for treasure in Tuscany and Elba, using Leo's inventions like a diving suit to outwit pirates.
