The Mona Lisa Foundation presents The First Mona Lisa, the painting of the Florentine woman Lisa del Giocondo, who became famous as the Mona Lisa, created around ten years before the iconic 'Mona Lisa' in the Louvre. The 'First Mona Lisa' has been subjected to more scientific tests and examinations than any other painting in history and continues to fascinate scholars around the world. Historical evidence shows that there have always been two versions of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. In fact, Leonardo often produced his paintings in several versions, examples of which are his Virgin of the Rocks, Madonna del Fusi and Madonna and Child. The 'First Mona Lisa' is presented and narrated to the public in a multimedia and interactive exhibition presenting the fascinating mysteries and discoveries surrounding the painting.
