The Lost Mona Lisa
Price:

Author:
R.A.Scotti
If anyone in the Louvre on August 21st, 1911 had been asked were it possible, they probably would have said no, the Mona Lisa could not be stolen. But in fact it was. A visitor to the museum sounded the alarm but several hours passed before the gendarmes were alerted. The furore this art heist caused was extreme and the hunt for the thieves, and the lingering questions on certain aspects of the sensational theft and retrieval, are the subject of this book. The biggest question still unanswered is, of course, if the truth of this daring theft is now known or are there lingering suspicions that the real story remains hidden?
