Not interested in the painting, but Isabella’s story is fascinating.
Read “The Bed and The Throne” sometime.

Is it really a Da Vinci?
However Martin Kemp, professor emeritus of the history of art at Trinity College, Oxford, and one of the world’s foremost experts on the artist, has expressed doubts about whether the painting, which measures 24in by 18in, is the work of Leonardo.

I can’t believe the Swiss capitulated on this, usually the sanctity of the banks is paramount unless there is iron clad proof, which there doesn’t seem to be any.
Sounds like the Italian government saw a quick score for a buttload of cash and got jealous is all.
