DaVinci, Picasso & other western artists also score highest on the list of most expensive paintings. Would you consider an economic view to be a more balanced measure of fame? Many of the buyers are Middle Eastern or Asian too.

Do you think people from Asia would have a different perspective on who the most famous Italian and/or French people are?

I've never been to Asia, but if I had to make a bet on it, I'd say yes, they probably do have a different perspective on it.

Which Italians do you think are likely to be more famous in Asia than Leonardo DaVinci?

I have no idea, I'm simply stating that in the absence of certainty, it's presumptuous to assume that people across the world have the same perspective that I would.

France and Italy are "Western" countries.

Picasso was from Spain, so is it then the most famous from? or in? a Country

Picasso was from Málaga in the south of Spain and that is where he shows up on the map for me. Commenter perhaps mistook Spain for France.

From what I can see it's most famous IN that area, not "from". Looking in Australia I see a lot of not-australians.
