Gerardini Lisa (Lisa Gherardini), wife of a wealthy Florentine merchant, Francesco Giocondo Affairs (Francesco del Giocondo), has long been considered as the most probable model for the painting of the 16th century.

Art critics, however, often wondered, perhaps, smiling woman may actually have been da Vinci's lover, his mother or himself Loenardo da Vinci.

Now experts at the Heidelberg University (Heidelberg University) library say dated notes scribbled at the edges of a book by its owner in October 1503, proving once and for all that Lisa Giocondo Affairs (Lisa del Giocondo) was indeed the model for one of the most famous portraits in the world.

On Monday, judge of the manuscript of the Heidelberg University library confirmed: "All doubts about the identity of the Mona Lisa have been eliminated Shlechterom discovery by Dr. Armin (Armin Schlechter)".

Until then, the available documents of the 16th century the library has considered this testimony is not credible.

Remarks were made by Florentine city official Agostino Vespucci (Agostino Vespucci), acquaintance of the artist, in the collection of letters by the Roman orator Cicero (Cicero).

In Comments compared Leonardo to the ancient Greek artist Apellzom (Apelles) and say that he worked simultaneously on three paintings, one of which was a portrait of Lisa del Giocondo.

Art experts who have already set the date of painting at that time, say the Heidelberg discovery - a major achievement and the earliest reference, indicating connection with the portrait of the wife of merchant the great maestro.

"There is no reason for any lackluster doubt that this is another woman," Leipzig University art historian Frank Zoellner (Frank Zoellner) said on German radio: "One could even say that books on the subject written in recent years have been deprived of any grounds. "

The library argued that the relationship of this woman paintings relates to about 1550 due to marginal notes of the book of the Italian official Giorgio Vasari (Giorgio Vasari), although doubts remained about Vasari's reliability - he made the comments after five decades after the portrait was painted .

Heidelberg notes were actually discovered over two years ago in the library of Dr. Shlechterom (Schlechter).

Although the findings were published in a public library catalog, they have not been disclosed, and attracted enough attention, until a German journalist did not bother to hold a registration in the library.

I read that there are now living her relatives.

In Italy, the relatives are always there. 15 years ago in Florence, I went to a restaurant. Immediately I ran to the master with a story that his relatives own this small restaurant from the beginning of the sixteenth century, and since it did not change: no interior, no recipes. Then dragged a fat old (at least superficially) a book in which they recorded the guests of honor, and, opening it at one of the first page, was poking his finger in the record states that in a 15hh th year of the order table, where I sat, sat and drank wine, Leonardo and Botticelli, and immediately offered to produce exactly the sort of wine. Did, I tried - sour, from time to time, I think.

qwerty, and my friend from Trieste arrived a few days to another to my friend in Dublin and in search of classic Irish sweaters went to a good shop. We talked with the owner and when he learned that one of the buyers like Bram Stoker's Dracula, but also from Trieste, said that's what.
Bram Stoker briefly worked as a salesman in this trading firm and traveled, in particular, in Trieste with the goods from wool. He showed me the book (just as in your case, qwerty) c overhead and together they found the invoice (or invoice, do not know exactly), where it was stated: product, price, store and address. Owner of the shop has kindly made a copy of the document as a souvenir.
