Was Mona Lisa a Dude?

Italian researchers who specialize in resolving art mysteries said Wednesday they have discovered the disputed identity of the model for Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa -- and claimed he was a man.

However his claim was immediately disputed by experts at the Louvre in Paris, where the painting is on display.
