In a big development, the archaeologists in Italy believe that they have discovered the skeleton of the famous Mona Lisa, the creation of legendary Leonardo Da Vinci. Mona Lisa alias Lisa Gheradini was the model for Leonardo's masterpiece, 'Mona Lisa'. The archaeologists said they have found her bones near the convent of Sant'Orsola in Florence.
The bones will be sent to the Department for the Conservation of Cultural Property for a forensic examination to determine the truth. The archaeologists' belief was based on some notes from 1503 in which an accomplice of Leonardo da Vinci wrote that Leonardo was working on a portrait of Lisa Gherardini. It is not immediately known whether the findings will resolve the mystery behind Mona Lisa's smile or not. However, a new twist has been added to the tale of 500-year-old puzzle.
