Can't find the Mona Lisa

This was taken at the Ponte Buriano. The Ponte Buriano is a stone seven-arch bridge in a little village in Tuscany near Arezzo. Built in 1277, it was used by Leonardo Da Vinci in the lower-right quadrant of his painting Mona Lisa.

It was also the scene of a battle in July 1944 which is commemorated on the bridge. The 2nd Lothian and Borders Horse fought here during the battle for Arezzo.
