An Italian art historian believes he has identified the bridge in the background of the Mona Lisa.
Silvano Vinceti thinks the bridge featured in the famous painting’s pretty countryside backdrop is the Romito, in the small Italian town of Laterina, Tuscany.
He came to his conclusion after analysing historical documents and drone images while also comparing Leonardo da Vinci’s artwork and photos of the area.
He told reporters at the foreign press association in Rome that he had ‘no doubt’ he had spotted the right bridge.
The biggest giveaway was that the number of arches matched up, he said. The bridge in the Mona Lisa has four and Mr Vinceti believes the Romito did too.
