Leonardo World is a now defunct Canadian category 2 Italian language digital cable specialty channel. It was an all-lifestyle channel showcasing Italian arts and culture ranging from cuisine to travel. It was a Canadian version of the Italian channel Leonardo World. It was primarily distributed in a package with two other channels called Super Trio Italiano. The other channels were SKY TG24 and Video Italia. All three channels were wholly owned by Telelatino Network Inc., a consortium majority owned by Corus Entertainment, with the exception of Video Italia Canada which was 80% owned by Telelatino Network Inc. and 20% owned by Gruppo Radio Italia.
