Elusive and sensual, she is loved, but also derided. True icon of painting, she is seen daily by thousands of people. The imperceptible smile of her, Lisa Gherardini, inspired pages of literature and also psychoanalytic studies. Do not forget, she is waiting for you in Florence, in the former convent of Sant’Orsola (located in a block of Via Sant’Orsola, Via Guelfa, Via Panicale and Via Taddea). Since 1542 the Mona Lisa awaits you in her Florentine tomb, identified during a campaign of archaeological excavations (one of the bodies for multiple burials, located along the southwestern margin of the monastic church). But if you just want to see a picture, you can go to the Louvre Museum in Paris, to give your eyes the joy of what, about that painting, Giorgio Vasari has written: “He took Leonardo to do, for Francesco del Giocondo, the portrait of Mona Lisa, his wife.” http://artesalva.isti.cnr.it/en/santorsola-a-firenze
