The Resume

    (June 15, 1479- )
    Birth name is Lisa Gherardini
    Married wealthy Italian silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo (1495)
    Believed to be the subject of Leonardo da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa' (1503)

Why she might be annoying:

    Little information is known about her life.
    She married at sixteen years old to a man fourteen years older than her.
    Her identity was a mystery for hundreds of years.
    Whether she was actually the subject of the 'Mona Lisa' still remains a subject of debate.
    Although her face is famous, she herself is not very well known.

Why she might not be annoying:

    At the time the 'Mona Lisa' was painted, her daughter had just died.
    To cheer her up, Leonardo allegedly brought in entertainers, causing her to give an 'enigmatic' smile.
    In Italian, her last name means 'light-hearted woman.'
    She is probably the subject of one of the most famous paintings in the world.
