Reading about the Mona Lisa
This is probably the most famous painting in the World. It is the Mona Lisa and it was painted by Leonardo da Vinci.
The original painting is the Louvre Museum in Paris.
The paint have two things that surprised at the people: First, people feel the eyes of the painting looking at them wherever they stand, because da Vinci’s model was looking straight at him when he was painting her. Second, people are often surprised by how small the beautiful painting is.
In 1910, the management of Louvre Museum decided that it was necessary to put glass security; a team of glaziers was employed to do the job. One guy of the team was Vicenzo Peruggia. One night a mystery man called Il Signore told Peruggia that he had a plan to steal the Mona Lisa and he asked to help him for money and Peruggia accepted.
Il Signore told Peruggia to find out everything he could about the security systems employed at the Louvre. Il Signore would never had been able to get all the inside information he needed about the Louvre Museum.
Several months after, when the cleaning and maintenance staff arrived to the museum, the three men went where the Mona Lisa was hanging and they take the painting. They have successfully stolen the Mona Lisa.
The police began investigating the theft.
Il Signore never came to collect the painting so Peruggia thought it would be a good idea to try and sell the painting, but when he try to sell it the dealer and the expert from the Uffizi Museum knew that the painting had been stolen and called the police and Peruggia was arrested. The painting was returned to the Louvre.
But where was Il Signore al this time? Nobody knew. Il Signore has six amazing forgeries of the Mona Lisa and he sells it and got much money.
Many people believe the robbery of the Mona Lisa was the perfect crime, but actually the Leonardo de Vinci’s masterpiece will ever be stolen again.
