Milan is an amazing Italian city in which modernity is closely intertwined with history. Fashion houses here border on medieval temples, and tall glass and concrete skyscrapers coexist peacefully with spacious gardens and ancient parks. This city fascinates at first sight and remains forever in the heart.
Thousands of tourists come to Italy every year to get exactly to Milan. And the reason for this is not only the status of the world capital of fashion, but also a huge treasury of cultural, historical, natural and architectural attractions.
For example, in Milan, in the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, there is the most famous fresco by Leonardo da Vinci - "The Last Supper". She depicts the scene of the last supper of Christ with the disciples at the moment when the Savior talks about his being betrayed. The masterfully conveyed emotions, the drama of this moment, which the Master portrayed realistically, made this work one of the most iconic in the world.
Over the years, the painting has undergone repeated damage, so today it is in an extremely fragile condition, despite the painstaking restoration that lasted 22 years.
One of the reasons for the poor preservation of the fresco is the experimental paint recipe used by Leonardo and the long, layered application that is not inherent in wall paintings.
In addition, the Dominicans suffered great damage to the work in the 17th century, who decided to raise the floors of the refectory, where the painting is located, completely removing the lower part of the image, including the feet of Christ. Even more damage was done in the 19th century by inept restorers who used alcohol in their work and erased the entire top layer of the fresco. However, the state of this unconditional masterpiece does not detract from its beauty, grandeur and craftsmanship.
Another attraction of Milan has a very ambiguous meaning. This is an ancient monumental necropolis where representatives of the local nobility are buried since the 19th century. The burials are real masterpieces of monumental art. Sculptures made of dark and white stone amaze the imagination with their realism and detailed elaboration.
The tomb is not divided into three parts. In the center are the graves of Catholics, as well as a memorial to the victims of Nazi concentration camps. On the right are the Jews. On the left - people belonging to other confessions.
