Mona Lisa's House

We all know the Mona Lisa. Some of us have even traveled to the Louvre Museum in order to closely observe Leonardo da Vinci's famous work of art from the beginning of the 16th century. The mysterious smile of the woman made the painting one of the most famous in the world, and therefore also one of the most protected works. A few years ago, the secret was revealed about the identity of the beautiful woman. It turned out to be Liza Giardini, the wife of a merchant from Florence, Italy. Now, Giardini's impressive home is for sale. The following photos will allow you to take a peek inside the home of the woman who intrigued millions of art and history lovers around the world.

It is believed that Lisa's husband requested da Vinci to paint his wife, which resulted in the creation of the famous artwork.
