La Gioconda is an 1899 play by the Italian writer Gabriele D'Annunzio. In November 1902 in New York, a Broadway version of the play was presented at the Victoria Theatre and featured the acclaimed Italian actress Eleonora Duse.[1] La Gioconda was also adapted for film on at least four occasions: three times in the silent era and as a Mexican film in 1951.
