From the BBC:
"Scientists in the Italian city of
Florence have opened a tomb to extract DNA they hope will identify the model for
Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.
The tomb contains the family of Lisa Gherardini, a silk merchant's wife who is believed to have sat for the artist.
It is hoped DNA will help to identify her from three skeletons found last year in a nearby convent."
