No, her identity is known.
"" Lisa Gherardini, was born in 1479 and married a rich silk merchant, Francesco del Giocondo. She has been linked to the painting — known in Italian as "La Gioconda" — because Giorgio Vasari, a 16th-century artist and biographer of Leonardo and other artists, wrote that Leonardo painted a portrait of del Giocondo's wife.""

It has been one of the great questions for years. We do know that Leonardo was in fact a homosexual. Maybe he liked to dress in drag or it could be an artistic way of looking at himself. No one knows for sure and that could be the intriguing beauty in the Mona Lisa because it is so mysterious.

He was scamming you, it's not real. The real Mona Lisa is located at Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Sorry

There is a theory that it may have been done as kind of a self portrait. Then again there are a lot or theories about the Mona Lisa. You should check into it, its interesting.

No, it is a painting.
Are you asking if the painting's SUBJECT is a man? The answer is no, according to art historians. She is a woman known by the name of La Gianconda.
Edit - to answer Anthony - Yes, he was, it is well documented.

Completely untrue, entirely conjecture. Actually, if you look it up, there was a recent news story - someone figured out who she really was...the wife of a Venetian politician or something...

He must have been a very pretty man. Was old Leonardo gay, then?

Not unless you're talking about Marcel DuChamps "LHOOQ" redux of the painting...
