After countless theories the true identity of the person known as Mona Lisa may have been discovered…
“Deep in the archive of Heidelberg University, researcher Veit Probst says he has found a book that once belonged to Agostino Vespucci, a friend of da Vinci. In the margin of one page is a note from October 1503 which, the researcher claims, confirms the identity of the Mona Lisa as the Mona (for Madonna) Lisa del Giocondo, the third wife of a Florentine businessman Francesco del Giocondo.”
(from the Irish Times 1/15/08)
Well, I know that I’ll sleep better at night now that I don’t have to worry about her true identity anymore…
