The Italian usage, as well as that of art historians, is plain Leonardo. da Vinci didn’t become common until Dan Brown.

If it crashes, will that give new meaning to the term, “Auger In”? Asking for a friend.

“da Vinci didn’t become common until Dan Brown”

I don’t believe that’s true, since I was born long before Dan Brown published his books and people have commonly called him “Leonardo Da Vinci” for my entire life.

That's so ridiculous it's silly. I'm more than three times as old as the book Dan Brown stole the idea of from Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln, and he was "da Vinci" in my elementary school books (which were so old they were cuneiform written on clay tablets.
