The Lost Legacy of the Flood
These paintings are digital reconstructions based on sketches copied by Navaret’s father during the chaotic days of the 1966 flood in Florence. Hidden for decades, these drawings—recovered from a damaged suitcase—capture faces and figures that might otherwise have been lost forever. Today, thanks to artistic research and AI-powered tools, Navaret brings them back to life in the unmistakable style of Leonardo da Vinci and his circle.
Each painting is a tribute to forgotten beauty and a testimony that visual memory, when preserved with care, can outlast time.

Legal Notice – Origin and Nature of the Artworks
The artworks presented on this website are original artistic reconstructions created by Navaret, based on hand-drawn sketches made by his father. These sketches were derived from partial visual testimonies of book pages that were damaged and subsequently lost following the 1966 Florence flood.
The original sources are, at present, empirically unidentifiable, lacking bibliographic traceability, and cannot be found in any public archive or protected collection.
The artworks do not constitute faithful reproductions of any known or catalogued content, nor mechanical copies of existing works. Any resemblance to works attributed to Leonardo da Vinci or other authors is purely stylistic and does not represent an authentic or certified attribution.
Each reconstruction is an autonomous creative interpretation, executed entirely by hand and subsequently refined in digital format.
The artworks are protected under current copyright law as original creations of the artist. No third-party rights exist over any pre-existing works, nor are there any obligations of protection arising from archival, museum, or cultural restrictions connected to known sources.
