I heard that actually Da Vinci drew himself on this painting called Mona Lisa. Is it true?

The title Mona Lisa stems from the Giorgio Vasari biography of Leonardo da Vinci, published 31 years after Leonardo's death. In it, he identified the sitter as Lisa Gherardini, the wife of wealthy Florentine businessman Francesco del Giocondo. Mona was a common Italian contraction of madonna, meaning my lady, the equivalent of the English Madam, so the title means Madam Lisa.

Yes teh Mona Lisa is a real person.The Da Vinchi is all a fake. If you read the book and if you saw the movie the director says that
the movie and the book are fiction witch means it is not real.

The other title is "La Gioconda" which is Italian for "The Lady Giocondi", a real family of that time and place. The theory is she was the wife or daughter of the head of the Giocondi household at the time.
