Walking Through Central Milan

The walk through central Milan connects the major stops. The exact route and order can change with the assigned Last Supper time slot.

Leonardo’s Last Supper

The painting remains in the refectory of the convent beside Santa Maria delle Grazie. The 15-minute visit offers time to look at Leonardo’s use of perspective and the apostles’ reactions to Christ’s announcement of betrayal.

Highlights:

• Technique: Leonardo painted on dry plaster rather than using the traditional fresco method.
• Composition and gestures: look at the groups of apostles reacting to the announcement of betrayal and the perspective lines leading toward Christ.

Conservation: Leonardo’s dry-plaster technique left the painting vulnerable. Its appearance has been shaped by deterioration and repeated conservation work.

Gelato Highlights:

• Gelato tasting is included in the tour price.
• Available flavors depend on the selected gelato stop.
• Tell the provider about dietary restrictions before booking.
