There are also full-scale reproductions of his famous masterpieces such as the Last Supper and Mona Lisa. Your Expert Guide will tell you about da Vinci’s influence on the Renaissance period in Rome and beyond. From 1513 to 1516, Leonardo worked in the capital, but as you will learn, he wasn't as busy here as in Florence or Milan.
