Salai, whose real name is Gian Giacomo Caprotti, was the son of a tenant's vineyard Leonard da Vinci . He was rescued by the latter at the age of 10 years and accompanied him until his death in 1519 when he inherited the vineyard his master's in Milan.
Some believe that da Vinci would have adopted outright. Anyway, in 1506 at the age of 16, Salai seeks to serve the artist by becoming his disciple. The young man also becomes his confidant, his muse, he often serves as a model, is involved in many of his paintings and produces its own designs.
Because the young man has the annoying habit of breaking or stealing objects that come to hand, Leonardo gave him the nickname Salai, meaning "little devil".
According Silvano Vincenti, president of the National Committee for the Development of historic properties, the strength of this relationship of 25 years was enough "ambiguity" to allow himself to consider that the two men were lovers.
Saint Jean Baptiste by Da Vinci (between 1513 and 1516)
"So?" you say ... Well just imagine that this same Silvano Vincenti has focused extensively on the features of St. Jean Baptiste of da Vinci - a type of recurrent curly haired teenager in the drawings of Leonardo, whose Salai was the model - and could not help but see some disturbing similarities with the famous portrait of Mona Lisa.
the Mona Lisa by Da Vinci According to this hypothesis, the Mona Lisa - also - has never left Leonardo's lifetime, would Salai transvestite for eternity.
Silvano Vincenti said that the painter had left clues in the eye by painting the Mona Lisa to Leonardo a tiny L and S for Salai. However, it is surprising that it is not strange inverted S-shape the path to the left of the Mona Lisa.
Indeed, it is known that Leonardo da Vinci wrote his notes as the process of writing specular or "mirroring" which, as its name suggests, gives the impression that transcribed sentences are reflected by a mirror.
Should we see a slight indication that the Mona Lisa is neither more nor less than the representation of women the opposite of his beloved Salai?
