Celebrate Italian Heritage Month at Da Vinci Fest Live
The celebration features art exhibitions that celebrate Da Vinci's work and can be enjoyed in person or virtually.

SOUTH PHILADLEPHIA (WPVI) -- A South Philadelphia nonprofit founded by a group of Italian immigrants is celebrating Leonardo Da Vinci's creativity and curiosity with the first Da Vinci Fest Live.

There are few Italians more famous than Leonardo Da Vinci.

He is best known for his paintings, of course. But Da Vinci was also a genius at science and engineering.

And that includes art exhibitions that can be enjoyed in person or virtually, a sculpture garden, a new mural, nightly moon watching, a livestream derby race, a marketplace and lots of do-at-home arts and crafts.
