Mona Lisa is a famous painting of a sitting woman by Leonardo da vinci. Mona Lisa is named for Lisa del Giocondo, a member of the Gherardini family of Florence and Tuscany, Italy and the wife of wealthy Florentine silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo. The painting was commissioned for their new home and to celebrate the birth of their second son, Andrea.
No one knows for sure. It is thought to be Lisa del Giocondo, the wife of a merchant. Some art historians have suggested that it is da Vinci's self-portrait.

Thgere are also speculations that she was a mistress or the widow of the Duke of Milan.

Lately Heidelberg scholars have found new evidence for her being the Lisa she should be.
