3:47 am
background, an arched bridge. the exact location has long been a mystery until now. >> so this is it? this is the bridge? at least that's according to silva know vin chetty, who's built a career around the renaissance master piece. [ speaking in a global language ] "this is the mona lisa bridge," he tells us, "located in the town of la tur ena in the region of tuscany, leonardo's birthplace, dating back to ancient roman and e truss can times. only one arch still stands today. but we can imagine the rest thanks to vin chetty's virtual reconstruction. ancient documents show us how the river looked when leonardo worked here from 1501 to 1507, he says. the announcement is creating quite the buzz in the sleepy medieval town of la ter ena. i think we'll see tourists coming here says laura. this town is dying, lydia tells
3:48 am
us. d hings up around here.ople come but not so fast. this arch may look like it's li. but what about this one? it's called the bore llano bridge and rival experts claim that this is the bridge in the mona lisa. it's located just aew miles upstream from the broken bridge. for years, renowned historians have traced its lineage to leonardo thanks to irrefutable evidence visible to the naked eye, says renato vis co-bow a local councilman and professor. you can see the kuvture of the bridge matches the one in the building, whereas the curvature in the other bridge would have been much higher than in the mona lisa. the shape and direction of the river are also identical. he takes us to a hill top that gives us a perspective he says is similar to the one leonardo had. over there is the town where he painted it, he says. he was a guest in the castle. today his view would be
3:49 am
obstructed by buildings. as for the other bridge, it simply lacks the evidence, he insists. an attempt to change history to create t attraction. some historians argue the backdrop wasn't even a real place but, rather, a projection of renaissance ideals. a bridge, shall we say, between nature and the female form. whatever the case, it's a debate that could almost make the mona lisa smile. now, we may never know with 100% certainty, but perhaps that's what makes the mona lisa so irresistible. more than 10 million visitors see it at the louvre in paris every year, making it the most famous painting in the world. chris livesay, tuscany.
