英國每日郵報:意大利歷史學家,小說家帕拉蒂科的一項最新研究稱,達芬奇的母親很有可能是一名中國奴隸,而他的名作"蒙娜麗莎"正是其畫像.
Daily Mail: according to new research by an Italian historian and novelist, Leonardo da Vinci's mother may have been a Chinese slave.
Angelo Paratico has spent the last 20 years living and working in Hong Kong, researching the links between his homeland and China over the past half a millenium.
Mr Paratico said documentation he has uncovered during two years of research forms the basis of his latest book Leonardo Da Vinci: A Chinese scholar lost in Renaissance Italy.
The book, which is due to be published next year, uncovers evidence, Mr Paratico claims, that links Da Vinci and the Far East.
