Mona Lisa buried in Florence

18 januari 2007 18:45

FLORENCE - The woman who modelled for Leonardo da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa painting is buried in Florence. Lisa Gherardini, as the wife of a rich Florentine businessman was called, died at the age of 63 and was buried in the Sant'Orsola convent in the centre of the Italian city.

That is the conclusion of research carried out by the Italian historian Giuseppe Pallantini. The convent is now abandoned and partially collapsed.

According to Pallantini, his study of archives proves definitively that the woman who stood for the most famous painting in the world really did exist. The painting dates to somewhere between 1503 en 1505.
