Florence, 1469, en pleine Renaissance. Mais qui est donc cet apprenti qui ne tient pas en place dans l'atelier d'Andrea Verrochio ?

Il peint des chefs-d'oeuvre, comme la Joconde, et invente des machines incroyables. Ce touche-à-tout que les puissants d'Europe se disputent, gardera jusqu'à la fin un esprit libre, une curiosité insatiable et une inventivité hors du commun qui en font l'un des génies les plus brillants de notre Histoire.
