    I’d go for Leonardo. The others - while I understand things at a basic level - I’d likely not be able to understand most of their fields.

    Maybe Tesla but I’m not sure if the conversation would end up centered around some of the neat science stuff I could grasp or pigeons with laser-eyes …

      … including Italian, right? Otherwise it could be a brief chat.

        Ok… well we are discussing the fictive ability to speak with somebody who is dead. I’m assuming that whatever necromancy/chronomancy is involved included some sort of translation.

        Hell, if it’s necromancy then the only thing we might get out of poor Leo is a “cerveeeeeeelli” before he lunges across the table :-)

      Agreed, Leonardo had that natural sense of curiosity and wonder that I can imagine being completely infectious.
