Geologists Digging Up Bones in Quest to Identify Mona Lisa

Researchers trying to identify the Renaissance model for Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" have excavated bones in a tomb in a Florence basilica in hopes they are the remains of her descendants.

Geologist Antonio Moretti told reporters in the Santissima Annunziata basilica Friday the remains had an inscribed stone indicating they belonged to the family of Lisa Gherardini's husband and sons. Many believe she posed for Leonardo.
