"If there is no love, then what is there?" - such an entry was made in his diary by Leonardo da Vinci, several years after he was twice convicted of male love. In 1490, a boy named Giacomo, the son of a peasant and a little nap with luxurious curly locks, appeared in Leonardo's house. For his complex character, the master called him the Devil, and later the student became his main muse and model for many great works, the most famous of which is John the Baptist. Genius and Giacomo have spent more than 25 years together, but the nature of their relationship is still unsolved. Was Salai just an assistant and servant of the master, or did they have warmer feelings? And why do we so like to believe that passion is not about genius, and l'amore masculino is not about art?
