Leonardo da Vinci's(达芬奇) mother may have been a Chinese slave(奴隶) according to a new research by an Italian -Angelo Paratico. He has spent the last 20 years living and working in Hong Kong, researching the links(联系) b 66 his homeland and China.

It is believed that Leonardo da Vinci's mother was named Caterina, who, according to some reports, was a local farmer. But Mr. Paratico's new work leads to a d 67 explanation. Speaking to the South China Morning Post, Mr. Paratico said, “I am s 68 that Leonardo's mother was from the East, but to make her a Chinese, we need to use a deductive method (演绎法).” Angerlo Paratico has s 69 many documents(文献). He found that one wealthy friend of Leonardo's father’s had a slave called Caterina. After Leonardo's date of b 70 , she disappeared from the documents. “She was no longer working there and could not be found,” Paratico a 71 . Supporting his opinion, he said, “During the period, countries like Italy and Spain were f 72 of slaves from the East.”

And he was a vegetarian(素食者), which was not common. Mona Lisa(蒙娜丽莎) is probably a picture of his mother. On the back of Mona Lisa, there is a Chinese landscape and e 74 her face looks Chinese. Mr. Paratico said the only way to s 75 the mystery is to extract(提取) some DNA. But he said he preferred to let the mystery to remain mysterious.
