This masterpiece is currently exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Oris it? Some people think that the painting at the Louvre is actually fake! While it's hard to know for certain, we do know this: The painting was stolen from the Louvre in 1911. Two years later, a man named Vincenzo Perugia went to an art dealer in Florence, Italy, and tried to sell it. The art dealer sent a message to the police ‘According to police records, this is what happened: Perugia stole the painting for a man named Valfierno. But then Valfiemno changed his mind and said he didn't want it! He didn't need it. Why didn't he need it? Because Valfierno was good at imitating da Vinci's style and had painted six first-rate forgeries before the robbery. Of course he then sold them all as the original! The paintings were bought by people who knew about the robbery, but didn’t know about the other copies. When the Mona Lisa from the Louvre was found by the police in Florence, the buyers were very angry. But Valfierno told them that it was a copy! Vincenzo Perugia was accused of robbery and went to jail. Valfierno didn’t. But one piece of the puzzle still remains. There were also a number of excellent copies of the Mona Lisa that were painted by da Vinci's students. Infact, even before it was stolen, a lot of people thought the painting inthe Louvre was a forgery. Maybe Perugia stole a copy. So, the question is: Where is the real Mona Lisa? Gace ‘ead the article. Choose the best title for it. Write it on the line above. Who stole the Mona Lisa? Is the Mona Lisa a forgery? Did da Vinci really paint the Mona Lisa? ead the article again.
