The Mona Lisa of Astano

Tomas Wüthrich

In Astano, a small village in Malcantone, a copy of the Mona Lisa hangs in the house of Marco Morandi's parents. Marco Morandi's great-uncle "Richin" probably drew "La Gioconda," the Mona Lisa, in 1913, after his friend Vincenzo, from the neighboring village across the border, had stolen it from the Louvre.
