Wikipedia says that Leonardo da Vinci was properly Leonardo son of Piero from Vinci son of Antonio son of another Piero son of Guido. I'm not sure that moving to surnames was a mistake, you know.
- kragen 1y agoNope, that's his actual surname. He wasn't born in the 16th century.
- card_zero 1y agoBut at some point back in time, when an ancestral DiCaprio was first referred to as just "DiCaprio", that was an error, right? He should properly be called Quello Figlio di Caprio, that son of a goat. It's not too late.
- kragen 1y agoProbably not, no, and AFAIK Leo is a nice guy who doesn't deserve to be deprecated in that way.
