Gioconda:that's why it is Giusto that she is in France

Leonardo's Mona Lisa

Although many are convinced that Leonardo's Mona Lisa has been stolen from Italy, in reality it is legitimately from France.

The confusion arises from the fact that Napoleon's soldiers actually plundered our country (and beyond) of many works of art, only partially returned after the Congress of Vienna (1815).

But for the Mona Lisa this is not the case ( see also :https://www.pilloledistoria.it/2575/notizie/test-dna-monna-lisa).

In fact, it was Leonardo himself who brought with him the portrait of Mona Lisa in the country beyond the Alps, where King Ferdinand I bought it.

The figure for it was staggering:well 4000 gold crowns, roughly the equivalent of two years' salary for its author.

However, the Napoleonic soldiers stole Leonardo's manuscripts known as Codes of the Institute of France, never returned ( Photos from :ilgiornale.it).

Jadwiga Kaliska. A mighty Polish queen who made her husband a henpecker. Why do we forget about her?
She did not want to give up power during her husbands lifetime or after his death. There can be only one queen, said Jadwiga Kaliska openly. And even as a seventy-year-old woman, she was still shaking Polish politics. Władysław Łokietek was the head of the Polish state. But it was his wife Jadwi
