Historian Carla Glori may have identified the location shown in Da Vinci's Mona Lisa painting.
Glori believes that the three-arch-bridge visible in the background behind Mona Lisa's left shoulder is Bobbio's Bridge located south of Piacenza in northern Italy and which was destroyed in a flood. "Leonardo added in the number 72 beneath the bridge to record the devastating flood of the River Trebbia and to allow it to be identified," she said.Carla Glori believes that a three-arched bridge which appears over the left shoulder of the woman with the enigmatic smile is a reference to Bobbio, a village which lies in rugged hill country south of Piacenza, in northern Italy.
