Leonardo’s shame is Milan and Inter’s to bear as well
Leonardo Da Vinci’s time in Milan, from 1482 to 1499, is often regarded as one of the most critical in his life. He arrived at the city, short of work but not of ideas or skills, and left a series of extraordinary paintings that include The Last Supper, The Musician, The Mulberry-tree Ceiling. He also left other works: paintings, drawings, sculptures, designs for weapons and machines, and numerous sketches for architectural landmarks, along with phenomenally insightful musings, in his notebooks.
His namesake, Leonardo Araújo, arrived at Milan 515 years later in the summer of 1997, neither short of ideas or money (his transfer was around 8.5 million euros). He played over 170 games and scored 22 goals for AC Milan, in midfield, on the right wing and once or twice, as a forward.
Da Vinci worked for the tyrant Ludovico, and the modern Leonardo toiled under the debatable Silvio Berlusconi. The ancient Leo would leave Milan after the fall of the Duke and traverse Italy for many years after, but our Leo would instead return to his homeland in Brazil and play for two clubs — Flamengo and São Paulo — before returning to finish his career at AC Milan (though he only played one match from 2002-2003).
