Researchers in Florence, Italy, are opening a centuries-old family tomb in hopes of solving one of the art world's most pressing mysteries. The tomb in question belongs to the family of Lisa Gherardini, the 16th century Florentine woman thought to have been the face of Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa." 意大利佛罗伦萨的专家学者们最近打开了一个几百年的古墓，试图揭晓那个文化界万众瞩目的秘密——蒙娜丽莎到底是谁？这个古墓是Lisa Gherardini家人的墓穴。Lisa Gherardini，一位生活在16世纪的美女，学者们怀疑当年达芬奇画笔下的蒙娜丽莎就是这位美女。 According to NBC, a team of specialists have begun a series of DNA tests on three different skeletons found in an Ursuline convent in Florence. The bones were originally discovered in 2017 and are believed to include the remains of Gherardini, the wife of a merchant who at one point lived across the street from da Vinci. 根据美国全国广播公司的报道，专家们对在Ursuline修女院找到的三具骨骸做了一系列的DNA测试。这些骨骸是在2017年被发现，专家相信其中一具骨骸是属于Gherardini女士的。Gherardini女士当年就住在达芬奇家街对面，是一个商人的妻子。 Now, researchers are turning to the Gherardini family tomb, located in Florence's Basilica della Santissima Annuziata, where they hope to excavate the skeletons of the supposed muse's sons. The experts plan on comparing DNA evidence from the convent excavation to the bones in the basilica in order to verify that they indeed have access to Mrs. Gherardini's remains. |
