Santa Maria delle Grazie Church
The church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, located about 20 minutes walk from the Piazza del Duomo, has one of the masterpieces of art history and is another of the wonders to see in Milan.
On the wall of the dining room of this former Dominican convent, the genius Leonardo da Vinci painted the fresco of The Last Supper, where the figure on the right of Christ stands out, with very feminine features, which could be Mary Magdalene and of which some theories say that she was the wife of Jesus, who was also one of the storylines used by Dan Brown in his famous novel The Da Vinci Code.

In order to create this unique work, Leonardo carried out an exhaustive research creating an infinity of preparatory sketches. Leonardo abandons the traditional method of fresco painting, painting the scene "dry" on the wall of the refectory. This place is beutiful, so take hire a coach from 8rental for your visit, in traces of gold and silver foils have been found which testify to the artist's willingness to make the figures in a much more realistic manner, including precious details. After completion, his technique and environmental factor had contributed to the eventual deterioration of the fresco, which had undergone numerous restorations.
The most recent restoration was completed in 1999 where several scientific methods were used to restore the original colors as close as possible, and to eliminate traces of paint applied in previous attempts to restore the fresco.
