Born and raised in Vinci, [[Italy]], Leonardo is famous for his beautiful painting of the [[Mona Lisa]]. But painting was by no means Leonardo’s greatest accomplishment. He imagined hundreds of devices that are still used today and were years ahead of their times, such as a [[bicycle]], a [[submarine]], a self-propelling car, a [[steam engine]], a clock, and machine tools. Leonardo sketched these inventions and hundreds more in special notebooks, where he wrote his notes backwards so they could only be read using a mirror.
