Mona Liza's face - the most recognizable female face on our planet. Presently it it was made by modern mass media, and the foundation for everything was laid by the great Italian Leonardo Da Vinci five hundred years ago. And though the work of art, the well-known picture, the Italian archeologists is several years of undoubted value try to find bones to the posing master of model. It seems that it it managed to be made.
The well-known picture was finished by Da Vinci in France, in 1519, shortly before death artist. But there began work the master for one and a half decades earlier when still lived in the homeland, in Italy. Inspired the artist on this work as modern historians and art critics consider, Mona Liza Gerardini is a wife of the rich Florentine dealer Francesco Giocondo's distance. After the death of the husband she lived in convent of Saint Ursula and died at the age of 63 years. In this monastery she was also buried in 1542.
Presently the monastery does not execute the functions long ago and is used as a warehouse. However from the remained documents the Italian scientists could establish that in separate crypts only two women rather wealthy for this purpose were buried there. Italians coped with the first task - to find entrances to crypts under a layer of the concrete poured in the last decades - in the past, 2011. They could even take a skull of the person buried there from a crypt, but problems with financing did not allow complete the works then, and excavation had to be postponed until this summer. And now professor Silvano Vinceti, the head of excavation, officially declared that archeologists managed to find rather well remained skeleton belonging to the woman. To define that it is Mona Liza's remains Giocondo's distance, scientists plan to carry out DNA expertize, for comparison having taken remains of two of her children buried in the Florentine church of the Sacred Annunciation.
If the assumptions of accessory of the remains found the Italian grave-diggers are confirmed, scientists will try to recreate a woman's face on the skull taken from a crypt. Perhaps, in such a way it will be possible to disprove or confirm several existing versions that other women posed for the master.
