Leonardo da Vinci's "La Gioconda" or "Mona Lisa"
It is believed that Francesco di Bartolommeo di Zanobi
del Giocondo,
one of the noblest citizen of Florence, ordered from
Leonardo a portrait of his wife
Lisa di Antonio Maria di Noldo Gherardini.
Notice the hordes of tourists reflected in the bulletproof
glass;
the Mona Lisa has been stolen by thieves, "borrowed"
by Napoleon for his bedroom,
and had acid splattered on it during its history
