The Mona Lisa is facing a few issues. Being the most famous painting in the world isn’t easy. And the Mona Lisa knows the price of fame better than anyone: envy and adoration in equal measures. In fact, the Mona Lisa is going through an identity crisis: She’s no longer sure about who she is or whether she should pay any attention to all those things people keep saying about her. But maybe there’s someone who can help her finding herself again. A fun trip through the images of the most famous painting in the world that looks at its history, its fortunes over the centuries and its hidden mysteries.

Davide Calì born in Bologna in 1973, he is a famous Italian children's literature writer and illustrator.
