A Mystery Solved

Giuseppe Pallanti, following Vasari's lead, bases his work on a meticulous and in-depth review of archival materials in attributing a name to the face of the Mona Lisa: Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo. He looks beyond the myth enshrouding one of the absolute masterpieces of Leonardo's genius, and gives us "Mona Lisa" as a woman with an authentic and living face. He has reconstructed her personal and historical dimension.
