Milan is perhaps most celebrated for housing Leonardo da Vinci’s 'Last Supper'. On this three hour Last Supper painting tour, in the company of a local art historian or expert, we will delve deep into the subject of Leonardo, his life and works, the city that made him and, of course, the iconic masterpiece. This tour focuses almost entirely on da Vinci and his relationship to the city, with a visit to the Last Supper and Santa Maria delle Grazie as well as the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana Museum. We’ll also spend time admiring the exterior of the Duomo as we talk about Leonardo’s role in the construction of this formidable structure. This tour is ideal for anyone with a keen eye for art looking for a deeper understanding of one of Italy’s greatest geniuses, Leonardo da Vinci.
