1. Feast your eyes on the Last Supper

The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci in the church of Santa Maria della Grazie is without doubt the greatest Renaissance painting, to capture the dramatic moment when Jesus reveals one of his disciples will betray him. It is so realistic that you can imagine the shock, surprise and hostility of adherents of a religion. The work reflects a turbulent history. Paint began tearing at the time of the Renaissance, when the wall was used for target. In the 19th century, it was a backdrop to the French invasion and was nearly destroyed in the Second World War. It's a miracle he survived. But thanks to a restoration of the fresco can now be viewed in color. Make sure you book in a limited time slot of 15 minutes to visit the masterpiece.
