Biography
In 1504, while visiting her father's lands near Florence, Lisa rescued Ezio after she found him uncouncious and laying among the bodies of mercenaries sent by Cesare Borgia that he just killed. While his injuries healed, Ezio stayed in the barn during several days with Lisa hidding him and tending to his wounds. During their time together, they developed mutual feelings but due to Lisa's loyalty to her family and Ezio's commitment to the Brotherhood, the Assassin left before anything could happen.[1]
They met again a year later, as Ezio visited Leonardo after saving the unaware maestro from assassins sent after him. Entering his workshop, Ezio discovered Lisa posing for Leonardo. Upon recognizing him, the young lady gratified him with a little smile which Leonardo asked her to keep for the paint. Deciding not to disturb the artist, Ezio left without speaking to Lisa and they never saw each other again.[1]
Upon first seeing the work in progress in 1506, Ezio Auditore da Firenze remarked positively about the piece; however, Leonardo rebuked that Lisa was "badly drawn", with an overdone, meaningless smile.[2]
In 1519, in order to entertain a dying Leonardo, Ezio revealed to his friend how he met Lisa before she posed for him.[1] Shortly before his death, Leonardo gave the painting depicting Lisa to his longtime assistant, Salaì.[2]
