Renaissance Milan and Leonardo da Vinci

Three amazing churches to discover the influence and go in depth into the history of the revolutionary style of Renaissance, started in Milan by Leonardo da Vinci. Santa Maria delle Grazie is an extraordinary treasure of Renaissance architecture created by Bramante and wanted by the duke Ludovico il Moro as his mausoleum. While looking at graffiti decoration, cotto tiles, imposing architecture and peaceful cloisters we can really imagine Renaissance age and jump into the XV century time. Walking along a beautiful residential street we can reach San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, known as the Cappella Sistina of Milano. A wonderful surprise you can't imagine from outside while going in: it is completely full of frescoes, created by the greatest artists of the XVI century, such as Bernardino Luini, pupil of Leonardo. We then go to church of Santa Maria presso san Satiro, the other masterpiece of the great protagonist Bramante: an incredible illusionistic perspective here will really leave us speechless.
