Description:

Discover some of the most charming treasures and hidden gems of Milan on this walking tour. Experience an intimate viewing of The Last Supper painting by da Vinci before admiring the unique interiors of Santa Maria presso San Satiro and San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore.

Housed in the refectory of the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, da Vinci’s The Last Supper is one of the most famous paintings in the world. Marvel at the majestic piece and hear about the artistic techniques da Vinci used and secret symbols behind the incredible artwork. Due to the fragile condition of the painting, admission is strictly regulated and visits can’t last longer than 15 minutes.

Your next stop is Santa Maria presso San Satiro, a 15th-century church housing one of the first examples of trompe l'oeil in the history of art. Admire the gorgeous golden painting of the apse and learn more about Bramante's painted perspective.

Later, spend time admiring the satirical marble sculpture of a finger, L.O.V.E. by Maurizio Cattelan, in front of Milan's stock exchange. Make your way to the astonishing church of San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, considered the Sistine Chapel of Milan for its charming frescoes and another treasure hidden behind a simple façade. As you walk through the door, let your senses be overwhelmed by the impressive paintings decorating walls and vaults.
