Is a historian, Carla Glori who found that the existing bridge in the background of the Mona Lisa becomes an important clue.

He said, the hump of the bridge - where the number 72 faintly visible in there - is the real bridge spanning the River Trebbia at Bobbio, near Piacenza, Italy.

Glori, who wrote a book called Engima Leonardo: Deciphering And Discovering, said sure, women in the great work that is Giovanna Bianca Sforza.

Giovanna Bianca Sforza was the daughter of Ludovico il Moro, the ruling nobility in Bobbio, 500 years ago. Two letters found recently in the eyes of the Mona Lisa - the letter 'S' and 'G' alleged initials Bianca.

"Based on my research I have identified the subject is Giovanna Bianca Sforza and bridge in the background is one that spans the River Trebbia in Bobbio," said he, like loaded the Daily Mail, Monday, January 10, 2011.

Added Glori, 500 years ago, Bobbio is mahsyur important cultural center with library and a castle that stood at the main intersection.

"Allegedly because of Da Vinci visited Bobbio famous library, and he painted it based on memory, several years later, probably when he lived in France," he said.

Added Glori, even after centuries, the city has changed a lot, however, the remnants of the past as depicted in Da Vinci's paintings can still be seen today, the streets are winding like a snake.

Added to him, the bridge that crosses the River Trebbia, as in the painting had been swept in the year 1472 - may be associated with the number '72 'is faintly visible in the painting Mona Lisa.

Once, a bridge was allegedly built overnight by the devil on the agreement with St. Columbanus - that promises first to cross the bridge of life given to the devil.

Theory Glori get rebuttal from Martin Kemp, a former lecturer at Oxford University and an expert Da Vinci.

"It almost certainly is a portrait of the Italian nobility, Lisa del Giocondo. Perhaps the idea originally was romantic and mysterious," he added.

He added, there's no resemblance bridge Bobbio, as claimed Glori.
