In Beyond Leonardo, Avio takes us on a brilliant and enlightening exploration of the very heart and soul of Leonardo da Vinci. It is on this in-depth journey that we are challenged to reflect on our own vision of and relationship to reality, while invited to unfold, discover, and potentially apply going forward the insights, creativity, and curiosity of this world-acclaimed treasure.
This book is not merely a study of Leonardo; it is an invitation to awaken the latent potential within us, inspired by a soul that deeply revered and explored the full breadth of his humanity and creativity. It urges us to confront the vast, uncharted opportunities that lie ahead with courage and openness.

About the Author
In Spanish, my name, Avio, translates as 'provisions for a journey'. In Italian, it means 'an aircraft'. Both are relevant. , I hope to be taking you on a journey through this book as I share with you my passion for the life and achievements of Leonardo Da Vinci. I hope that these provisions, provide satisfying food for your questioning mind, and also a means of rising above conventional thinking.
It has been very inspirational for me to have spent the last 45 years literally following in Leonardo's footsteps by living in Tuscany, the land of his birth, an origin he shared with many of the other 'old masters'. Growing up in an artistic and musical family, I was very aware of his legacy and achievements. He appeared almost superhuman by the sheer volume of his work in so many different subjects. This fascinated me from an early age.
Since his death over 500 years ago, I do not believe there has been anybody who has come anywhere near to matching his talents and achievements. The question is, 'why?' By looking back at his life, I have tried to answer that in this book, and to learn more about his philosophy on Life. By understands what made him tick, we can apply these principles to the complex lives we lead today and better understand what tomorrow will bring.
