Mona Lisa and Buriano Bridge
We no longer have the Mona Lisa? We have Buriano Bridge ... near Arezzo, 10 minutes by car or bus.
It was built around the second half of 1200. Buriano bridge, the bridge of the Mona Lisa: Leonardo da Vinci knew this place and this is proved by a map of the area preserved in Windsor, drawn by him. The most brilliant intuition is that the area with Aretino Buriano Bridge is the landscape of the Mona Lisa's enigmatic painting. Behind her smiling face you can see the humpbacked bridge identified by some scholars and even more in the distance the badlands of the Valdarno seem to appear, eroded pinnacles of clay called "Cliffs". It's a proof that Leonardo had in his mind the geography of these places.
The Mona Lisa, the best known and admired picture of the world, now is in the Louvre. “ Its landscape still throbbing is Buriano Bridge" (Charles Starnazzi). Arezzo and its territory has expanded its geographical limits in a short time and achieved a planetary resonance.
The Mona Lisa Leonardo Da Vinci ... No land can boast of a celebrity so abrupt.
I think we should absolutely support this unexpected, but actual union after the studies of Prof.Carlo Starnazzi, passionate student of Leonardo, have highlighted the relationship that the artist Leonardo had with the land of Arezzo and proved how the represented landscape behind the Mona Lisa is the one identified in the town of Ponte Buriano and Valdarno’ cliffs.
Television and newspapers around the world have repeatedly concerned, continue and certainly will continue to be interested in these fascinating discoveries.
