Silvano Vinceti; chairman of the italian National Committee for the Promotion of Historical Heritage; Culture and Environment leads a team of archeologists who are searching in the abandoned Convent of St.Ursula in Florence;Italy on may 20;2011 for the remains of Lisa Gherardini Del Giocondo; the woman believed to have inspired Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa; painting that today hangs in Paris' Louvre. She reportedly spent her last two years (until her death in 1542) at the Convent of St. Ursula in Florence after her husband's death. The archaeologists will attempt to extract DNA from the skeleton to compare it with the remains of two of Del Giocondo's children; buried in a separate cemetery. They also hope to reconstruct her face to compare it with that of the Mona Lisa painting. Photo by Eric Vandeville/akg-images
