So, what inspired Yvonne to write her first book about the Mona Lisa in THE AMULET OF AMSER series? During her research, she was surprised to learn that in 1911, Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting had been stolen by an Italian immigrant named Vincenzo Peruggia.
Yvonne found the by far most extensive source of information in Joe Medeiros‘ brilliant documentary THE MONA LISA IS MISSING, a film about Peruggia and his unthinkable theft.
With the help of researchers and art experts, Medeiros and his team embarked on an epic journey leading them to the Louvre, to Peruggia’s hiding place in Paris, to Florence where he returned the painting, to thousands of documents in the French and Italian archives. And ultimately… to the truth.
