Leo Da Vinci : Artist, inventor, genius. Upon returning from the lake where Leo had tested his latest invention, he makes a horrible discovery: Lisa’s house and fields have mysteriously burst into flames. To help Lisa and her father, who have lost everything, Leo decides with the young girl, to go off in search of a hidden treasure. During their journey, Lisa and Leonardo meet Niccolò, a Polish boy fond of stargazing. They are also helped by Agnes, a lively young girl. With sinister pirates looking to beat them in the search for the treasure, it isn’t long before our heroes realize that their mission is a difficult one.
