of beano regarding a certain it politics. and politics would later become cardinal but was poison to the age of $24.00. but he was born an orphan. how did he acquire the name. who were his parents. for the record document his birth how he became an orphan. and later. the name of his mother also appears. from downey a young woman from or beano. not much is known about but if it were burned down ie she was a guest of the palace or to carla by invitation of giuliano. it

is unclear if she offered him her labors of love if he said used. as recorded by one of the documents was raped. in any case she spent a night because giuliana. and this likely in voluntarily. but how should she have opposed the real truth. she was plagued with severe remorse after her affair with giuliana.

some sources stated that she was married at the time. danny fell into a crisis the deep end when she found out that she was with child. a child out of wedlock from a brief encounter in the court of law being no. then she drew up a terrible plan. she confided in her friend and midwife that she didn't want the child and that she could not take the disgrace. a midwife should kill the new born in case president he dies in childbirth.

friend danny did in fact i hope you are pro fever. but the midwife didn't take the newborns life. on april the 19th $1511.00 the night before easter sunday she dropped the child off on the steps of the sun ticky are a judge and it will be no. the baby wrapped in a white sheet was giuliano son. he had a coin on him as a token of his heritage in the absence of a legitimate heir giuliana de medici recognized him as his son he named him in politics. giuliani left obinna with his son a potter

a move to his brother the pope in rome. leonardo da vinci resided in the chambers of the vatican where he worked for the medicis during this time. but commissions from the pope was spotless here giuliano must have given him the commission of which leonardo rights including. leonardo was to paint a painting to comfort a little politics. battery he said earlier motto to paint may have pictures of a mother that i can give to my some as an image of his mother sat at the laddie at your feet. as you imagine it how a portrait of a mother shuttle flight and leonardo painted the painting that we call mona lisa

today and you know that. it must have been a great challenge to paint an image of a mother for politics. since he suffered a similar fate as a politician. he too was an illegitimate child who was recognized by his father. his mother didn't die in childbirth she was his father's maid and he probably used her dependency on him from labors of love as had giuliano with his mistress from danny. a polyp. shared a similar fate and this inspired leonardo to paint a painting that held the memory of

a mother and. the painting should lend comfort to younger politician who himself never saw his mother. he undoubtably painted the image of ways all the world should do and so he developed the portraits out of his imagination. and we could we will now go play an audio we didn't need a model. he was an illegitimate child himself and could easily relate to the feelings of such a child so in this. juliano belletti change must have known this as lay in our friend. took himself back to the time of his childhood. he was born in 1452 on a farm. his birth house still stands today it's located in

midst of an olive grove near the small tuscan village of vinci. the great master got his name from the small italian marriage. church with a side chapel on the back tees 3 stands in the center of town. leonardo was baptized here how memorial stone commemorates that illegitimately another was recognized as a song by his father pineiro da vinci. it was always puzzling why leonardo portrayed the wife of a sup merchant in dark clothing. a silk merchant is proud. with his colorful fabrics her clothes on the other hand recall mourning and reverie if leonardo

painted the image of a woman that had passed away then the dark colors make sense a smile also becomes explainable since it is directed at her own child. giuliana to medically died before the painting was completed. leonardo took it with him to france where debbie artist saw it and took note of it in his travelogue. mitzi should i use the painting in the movie is certainly not identical to the portraits that's leonardo painted of more lisa bloom deformed and more not least the real more lisa lisa delgado condo is the silk merchant's wife.

but where is the portrait of lisa. as described by of a sari. trace leads us to german giacomo couple team called saliva who is said to have had a relationship with the master. is a lie was a rapscallion leonardo like to many a way. he accompanied the master through his life for many travels and was his studio assistant. before lunardi bloom several months or weeks before they an audio left for france in 1516 some law i returned to his hometown of milan ally not. my long term sun i'm up all sort of it's all going by the only occasion he must have received several paintings from they

are not all common. and slow for moodily for assumably incomplete works. in far as inside the painting appears in his a state that is referred to as la joconde use. quad or dict or larger condor a painting called a condom this is how it appears in his estate. an incomplete work of the great leonardo da vinci was very valuable to sell high. so lawyer theoretically. could have completed it right next to him fondly he was a painter trained by leonardo many paintings are attributed to him. he could have also sold them under layer not as name for

a lot of money from cloning. but that never happened saliva died under mysterious circumstances just a few years after leonardo's own death. the incomplete portrayed of lisa condor was in salis estate along with leonardo's painting lay down the swan. both of these paintings were lost. in all likelihood it is the imaginary ideal image of a mother that owns an the louvre commissioned by giuliano in many cheap. we must say good bye to the mona lisa.

it is the most famous painting in the wild. others been studied more thorough only more often now the mona lisa has revealed its true face. the same face was found over and over again beneath each of the coats of paint the face with its loving gaze and its comforting smile the image of a marvel. movie.

a year of delays and cancellations in store to do much of the crew. no virus not least of the lack of spectators most of the year's events has changed the face competitions take a look at the impact of the pandemic has had on the sporting world. i'm claire richardson welcome to the show we start in the u.s. a city of nashville in the state of tennessee where a car bomb explosion has wounded at least 3 people and caused widespread damage eyewitnesses in the city's downtown area say they heard a loud boom in the early hours of christmas morning followed by black smoke and billowing flames the blast blew out windows and damaged nearby buildings police say there's evidence that the explosion was intentional. this aerial footage shows the

extent of the damage from the explosion the force of the blast from the recreational vehicle smashed windows and sent to preflighting. luckily the early hour of the day the streets of central nashville were largely empty when the explosion happened police had already arrived on the scene after receiving a phone call reporting gunshots in the area. as well she responded they encountered an r.v. that had a record senate a potential bomb with dead nate within 15 minutes of service upon hearing that decided to evacuate the buildings nearby. it's thanks to this quick response that the human toll was not much greater investigators are now looking into the possible motive behind the explosion i think people will do there was not an accident. and from that little take a little bit of time to get to the bottom of it and i do think it was clearly done

when nobody was going to be a room it would be a different message if it was you know. dying time nashville was sealed off and the f.b.i. have appealed to the public for any relevant information. please tell us what you know. we need leads we need your help. president donald trump has been briefed on the matter. more from nashville where mike sleeve i can tell us more about what's been going on authorities are saying that the blast appears to be in it intentional what more can you tell us about that. well it's been a long day here in nashville at around 5 30 am so just just under 12 hours ago there was a 911 call reporting shots fired and the area just in downtown nashville off a tree 2nd avenue on that scene and there wasn't one simply arrived on the scene there was any evidence of shots fired in the meeting area but authorities were led to a suspicious recreational vehicle parked on the street and circumstances regarding

the cryptic messages that were blasted from the r.v. that officers to call in units of the national police fire bomb squad has are some serious you know it's. police did a sweep of the area. and on on the way there realized that this message was coming from the dire warnings come from the r.v. was saying evacuate now there was a bomb a bomb in this vehicle and it will explode about it give a countdown at 15 minutes after that just as they can you just describe for us 1st in the area where this blast actually took place what is it like. sure it's it's largely it's entertainment district there are it's a historic building a lot of historic buildings there but also mostly restaurants entertainment been used for country music but not a not a kind of residence what are. residents there it's largely

just a district so 6 30 am on christmas morning it's cold outside there were a lot of people in the streets frightened to go to any of these businesses in the area had received any threats in recent days or weeks. authorities are saying there was no credible threats signaling any kind of impending attack before christmas so we have no information on that right and the possibility of a further attacks of authorities said anything on that matter. well you know today throughout the day they've been scouring the area trying to locate you know any other secondary devices in syria devices it's i don't want to say it's an all clear but it is one of those things that i think they've been alleviated the possibility of a secondary attack but you never know this point. and as we've mentioned of this of course happened early on christmas morning during the middle of a pandemic what has that meant for efforts to care for the people who've been affected by this blast well we dished it's

a lot of the people that are there have been evacuated or are in lockdown in that area nash downtown nashville is in a state a lockdown. you know one thing about the blast as well was that it was directly across from an 800 data center which leads to the 2 bit suspicion so you know our phones are pretty much out of order right now in terms of data and wife by connectivity so this is actually had an impact on the infrastructure in nashville as we said anything about whether this building was in fact the target of the blast it's not known at this point it's not being confirmed at this point but you know speculation does lead us to kind of think that i will say also that the national airport is currently shut down due to the the data. all right so
