The museum’s director, Giovanni Poggi, was photographed examining this famous painting.
The Mona Lisa had been stolen from the Louvre Museum in 1911 by Vincenzo Peruggia, an Italian carpenter who hid it for two years.
After being recovered in Italy, the masterpiece was briefly displayed at the Uffizi before being returned to the Louvre.
This temporary exhibition will represent a significant moment in the history of art and the safety of works of art, highlighting the weakness and invaluability of this iconic portrait by Leonardo da Vinci.”
