  • Mona Lisa if one of the most famous paintings in the world, by Leonardo Da Vinci, a famous renascence painter.
  • As most people know, the Mona Lisa is a mystery. Nobody knows who is the woman in the painting, if she's real or not. Some people even think that she's actually a woman version of Da Vinci.
  • After many years of researches from scientists, it was confirmed that the Mona Lisa was a real woman, after the discovery of a biography written by Giorgi Vasari (another famous painter who used to write biographies as well). He wrote the biography of Da Vinci, and it was proving the Mona Lisa was a real woman.
  • Most scholars believe that the Mona Lisa, known as La Gioconda in Italian, is the portrait of Lisa Gherardini, a member of a minor noble family of rural origins.
  • The bone hunt began last year, and archaeologists say they have found a complete skeleton buried beneath the floor of an abandoned nunnery in Florence, Italy, which might belong to Lisa Gherardini,
  • It's not proved yet that the bones belong to Lisa Gherardini. Scientists will start a facial reconstruction e in order to see if her facial features match the woman in the painting.
