Archaeologists say they have found a complete skeleton buried beneath the floor of an abandoned nunnery in Florence, Italy which might belong to Lisa Gherardini, the woman believed to have inspired Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Discovery News reported.

D'Aquino, an archaeologist, said the bone hunt aims to possibly reconstruct Lisa's face in order to see if her facial features match that of the iconic painting hanging at the Louvre in Paris.

Most scholars believe that the Mona Lisa is the portrait of Lisa Gherardini, a member of a minor noble family of rural origins who married the wealthy merchant Francesco del Giocondo.

据探索频道新闻网报道，考古学家称，他们在意大利佛罗伦萨一所废弃修道院发现了一具埋藏在地板下的完整骨架。骨架可能属于丽莎·格拉蒂尼，她被认为是赋予里奥纳多·达·芬奇灵感、创作画像“蒙娜·丽莎”的原型。

考古学家德阿圭诺说，追踪遗骸目的在于尽可能再造丽莎的面容，以对照她的面部是否和巴黎卢浮宫经典画像“蒙娜·丽莎”一致。

大多学者都确信“蒙娜·丽莎”就是丽莎·格拉蒂尼的肖像画。后者来自一个乡村小贵族家庭，嫁给了富商弗朗西斯科·德尔·吉奥孔多。
