Description
I dedicate this image to Bill (Radar_rad-dude), who's writing a story about me and Flavia, Mike (HAPPY BIRTHDAY), and all of you who belong to my generation (the Baby-boom generation). I don't remember who made this version of Leonardo's Mona Lisa (also known as La Gioconda) a la Duchamp. Possibly Mona Lisa is the most popular painting to be re-invented, with American Gothic as second best, and maybe Rembrandt's Lesson of Anatomy as a third. I hadn't seen this Mona Lisa smoking a joint for decades, and found it in a cafeteria in a village, San Martino della Battaglia (Mantova), where Flavia, myself and some friends stopped to eat a sandwich, a beer and a coffee (typical Italian light lunch when travelling). The Mokarabia neon sign is the brand of the coffee beans used there for espressos and capuccinos. The wall is probably a conservative work of an older wall, when the old building was destroyed and the bar-cafeteria was built. This type of decoration using parts of older buildings has been fashionble here during the last 20 years, to save the good-old-countryside-things' flavor, together with old photos.
Flavia has used this Mona Lisa for JS's T-shirt in the latest episode of her scifi saga.
Thanks for your kind comments.

Sandra! You and Flavia are the greatest! Thank you so very much for this fine dedication and reference to our generation, the baby boomers!
