'Early Leonardo portrait' found
A sketch found in one of Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks could be an early self-portrait, experts believe.
The drawing had been obscured by handwriting for 500 years before being discovered by Italian scientific journalist Piero Angela.
After months of restoration work, the image was aged using criminal investigation techniques and compared with older self-portraits of Leonardo.
The findings will be revealed on Italy's RAI television channel.
