Yes, his model was a real person. She is generally thought to be a young woman from Florence, Monna (or Mona) Lisa, who in 1495 married a well-known nobleman Francesco del Giocondo, and so the picture is sometimes called: `La Gioconda''. (1)
Not long ago, some art historians proposed a new theory about who Leonardo's model was. They believe that the Mona Lisa. was in fact based on a self-portrait of Da Vinci himseslf.. Using a computer they compared the woman's face with a self-portrait of the artist and found that eyes, hair, cheeks, nose, and famous smile were all very similar. (2)

Not sure. Some say it is a 'feminine' version of Leo himself.
