Leonardo Da Vinci's"Mona Lisa" is one of the best-known artworks in the world, famous for its beauty as well as the mystery surrounding the identity of the model and the location painted behind her.
"The distinctive form of the Arno [River] along that stretch of territory corresponds to what Leonardo portrayed in the landscape to the left of the woman depicted in the famous painting," Vinceti said at a media conference at the Foreign Press Association in Rome on Wednesday. The Romito bridge linked Arezzo, Fiesole and Florence but is now in ruins. Vinceti said he studied drone images of the river banks, the ruins and photographs over the years to determine that the"Etruscan-Roman Romito bridge is unmistakably" the one in the background.
"We need to try to protect what's left of the bridge, which will require funding," Neri said, noting that there are funds available for most areas tied to Da Vinci and other masters.Da Vinci's 16th century masterpiece is now housed at the Louvre in the Paris, where it is seen by millions of visitors each year.
