And I can tell you that there is absolutely no proof that Eduardo Valfierno or his forger Yves Chaudron ever existed, They come from a story written by a former Hearst journalist named Karl Decker in 1932. Our research has shown us who Decker may have based the character of Valfierno on, but that person (or persons) had nothing to do with the theft of the Mona Lisa. It was all the hapless plan of Vincenzo Peruggia. Check out our website : http://www.monalisamissing.com??
