Italian archaeologists believe that they found the remains of a supposedly Mona Lisa woman in the work of genius artist Leonardo da Vinci, the Daily Mail said.
After more than a year of excavation in the background of St Ursula monastery in Florence (Italy), archaeologists have discovered a skeleton that is believed to be by Lisa Gherardini - the model of the Mona Lisa The famous of Leonardo daVinci.
Lisa Gherardini is the wife of a rich silk merchant named Francesco del Giocondo. After her husband died, she became a nun at St Ursula monastery. She died here on July 15, 1542, at the age of 63. The life of this woman is very coincident with the time the genius artist Leonardo daVinci painted the portrait of the mysterious Mona Lisa.
The newly discovered remains are said to be Mona
Lisa in the work of genius artist Leonardo daVinci.
Archaeologists began searching at St Ursula monastery in Florence (Italy) with a radar capable of penetrating the ground from May 2011. After 2 weeks of searching, they discovered the underground tomb of this monastery. Later, archaeologists excavated the tomb and discovered a woman's skull along with fragments of ribs and spine.
However, archaeologists' excavation plans must be suspended due to lack of funding, but were restarted last month. As a result, they discovered a human remains earlier this week.
This skeleton will be checked to see if it matches the skull discovered last year. Later, scientists will compare DNA in bone with the remains of Lisa Gherardini's two children - buried nearby.
If identified by Lisa Gherardini's skeleton and skeleton, scientists will proceed to replicate her face based on the skull found to be compared to the 500-year-old Mona Lisa's picture of Leonardo daVinci genius artist.
Dr. Silvano Vinceti, head of the excavation team, said on the Daily Mai: 'We do not know whether the skeleton and the skull belong to the same woman. But this finding shows the possibility of still having human remains in the monastery of St.Ursula and we do not rule out the possibility that they are Lisa Gherardini's remains. "
