Another researcher, Da Vinci expert Carlo Pedretti, praised Pallanti for the discovery and urged a search at the site for Lisa Gherardini's remains. "Thanks to modern techniques, scientists can determine her physical aspect, maybe even her face and thereby make an important contribution" to establishing her identity, he told the ANSA news agency. What possible contribution could that make? We already have the picture.

So much for all the mystery hype university art teachers have stirred up. This was actually da Vinci expressing his hidden homosexuality, etc.

Bill Clinton was heard to comment "I'd do her"

"And it was there that Lisa, as stipulated in the will of her husband who died four years before her, ended her life,"
You mean I can stipulate that after I die my wife has to go live in a convent? Cool!

The mystery of the Mona Lisa is not who it is...but how it was done. Sfumato remains a mysterious technigue to this day and attempts to recreate it from a set of known principles remains elusive.

...deceased July 15, 1542 Is this according to the Julian calendar, in use at the time, or the Gregorian calendar, which we use today?

Does anyone have a picture of Lisa Gherardini to compare it to the Mona Lisa?
