On this tour, we will admire the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana's renowned collections, including iconic artworks such as Caravaggio's basket of fruit, the Cartoon for the School of Athens by Raphael & Brueghel's flamboyant Vase of flowers. We will also visit the library's 17th century reading room, with the original drawings from Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Atlanticus. The genius Leonardo stayed in Milan for 20 years and he opened a school with many students. The duke in that time, Ludovico Sforza, famously called Leonardo da Vinci to paint the Last Supper inside the refectory of the Domenican Convent. After that, he had him paint a room inside his castle, the same castle we'll step inside of. Since this is a walking tour, I suggest bringing a bottle of water and wearing comfortable shoes. If you book during the summer, be sure not to forget a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses. If you book during the winter, don't forget to bring a raincoat or small umbrella in case it rains.
·This tour will begin once we've met by the Leonard Icon monument from renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, which is in front of the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana. ·We'll proceed to enter the Pinacoteca where we'll view artworks by legendary artists, such as Da Vinci's Portrait of a Musician. ·After exploring the Pinacoteca, we'll go on a short stroll to the Sforza Castle, passing by the Largo Cairoli square with the monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi. ·On arrival to the castle, we'll visit the Museum of Ancient Art, which presents artworks from different eras and civilizations, from Ancient Rome all the way to the Reinassance, including Pietà Rondanini, Michelangelo’s last work. -If you don't want to end the tour there and want to see the Last Supper which is in the Basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie a couple of blocks from the castle, contact me and I will create a customized version of this tour for you. The itinerary can be customized according to your needs and requests.
