«Mona Lisa", it "La Gioconda", (Italian: Mona Lisa, La Gioconda, fr. La Joconde), full name - Portrait of Mrs. Lisa del Giocondo, the Italian. Ritratto di Monna Lisa del Giocondo) - painting by Leonardo da Vinci, located in the Louvre (Paris, France), one of the most famous paintings in the world [1][2], which is thought to be a portrait of Lisa Gerardini, wife of silk merchant of Francesco del Giocondo of Florence, written around the year 1503-1505.

Interestingly, the "Mona Lisa" is a collection of Henry F. Pulitzer, as have Raymonde Hekking: with William Henry Vernon; scientific studies have shown that the picture may indeed be of da Vinci. The family of Vernon was holding a picture of a bank vault in New Jersey before it was sold at auction in 1995. In thin. Portland Museum is the "Mona Lisa", she got there from some H. Reichhold, specialists from Harvard University found that the work created before 1510 - that is, in the original - soft and more feminine than the version in the Louvre. Finally, Henry Pulitzers says, "Mona Lisa" has long been smiling in the basement of the Swiss customs warehouse.

[Кирилл Сызранский]

09.08.2013, Italy| Yesterday, Italian scientists have opened the crypt of the family of Florentine silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo, whose wife Lisa Gherardino are believed to be captured on canvas by Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa." For this it was prodelalano hole in the floor of the church of Santissima Annunziata in Florence, beneath which is a crypt. Scientists want to end the long-standing controversy on the subject of who was depicted on the most famous painting by Leonardo. For this is supposed to make DNA analysis of the remains, compare it with the DNA of living family members by Gerard and those human fragments that were found last year in the monastery of St. Ursula in the same Florence. It is known that Lisa by Gerard spent the last years of his life at the monastery, taking monastic vows. She died there a nun in 1542.

Experts have argued for centuries about who is captured in the famous picture. They hope that at least some of the bones of the family crypt will be the remains of Lisa's closest relative - perhaps her son Piero.
"If it turns out that DNA samples belong to the mother and her child, it will mean that we have found Mona Lisa" - said the writer and researcher Silvano Vincheti.
