A tax document calls, mother maestro named Caterina, the wife of Achattabriga di Piero del Vaccha da Vinci. The data is an indication that Leonardo is the legitimate child - although some researchers believe he was born of a slave from the Middle East who lived in Vinci.
Historians focus on paternal line Leonardo. "We examined the document and tombs in France, Spain, in order to reconstruct a family history of da Vinci," Vezzosi said as quoted from the site Smithsonian science, "We even found the tomb of the unknown family of da Vinci."
The most special is, the team found 35 people live who live around Florence - included in Vinci - were genealogically related to Leonardo da Vinci.
Their professional backgrounds as police, pastry chef, accountant, and retired blacksmith.
One of the 'descent' da Vinci, Elena Calosi, architect of Empoli expressed his feelings on the media Italy, La Repubblica.
"Of course I was surprised, but pleased. The excitement is definitely also felt my late grandmother, who throughout his life was proud to have Vinci as a family name," he said.

Although investigators believe the history of their discovery, many people are hesitant.

Moreover, the fate of the remains of Leonardo da Vinci, including its DNA, a matter for debate. After death, man predicated architect, musician, writer, sculptor, inventor, scientist, and the painter was buried in a chapel.
However, the chapel was eventually destroyed in a great battle in the 16th Century. The body of da Vinci purportedly transferred to Saint-Hubert Chape, where his tomb is located.
But, many who doubted the authenticity of the tomb.
Two historians, Vezzosi and Sabato realize the significance of DNA in their study - although they do not use it in research related to the descendants of da Vinci that has started since 1973.
