' Mona Lisa's right eye has the LV character, which is most likely the abbreviation of Leonardo da Vinci. And the left eye also has a letter but it has not been determined that it is CE or B. In the dome, there are 72, or L and number 2. This picture is nearly 500 years old so it is no longer sharp '- he Silvano Vinceti, Chairman of the Italian National Cultural Heritage Committee, said.

' Da Vince is a very mysterious person, he often uses the symbol in the work to send a message. He treasures this painting very much, in the last years of his life where the artist always brings the painting. Maybe the message in the picture is about love sent to Mona Lisa '- Vinceti added.
