For a long time, the identity of Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" has been discussed. Now, Heidelberg University, in Germany, has confirmed her identity as Lisa del Giocondo.
This is borne out by notes written in the margins of a book belonging to one of da Vinci's friends, Agostino Vespucci (any relation to Amerigo?). This actually just confirms what has been suspected for a long time.
