THE DARK SIDE OF MILAN
This is a special walking tour led by Morena Ghilardi, art historian and professional tourist guide, through a central area of Milan, located between the Duomo square and the Castello Sforzesco, that hides the darkest side of the city, blending macabre habits, miracles legends and private stories of cloistered nuns...The itinerary includes three churches considered architectural jewels, rich in treasures and unexpected anecdotes. San Bernardino alle Ossa entirely made of human bones; San Maurizio also known as Milan’s Sistine Chapel for the richness and beauty of its pictorial cycles conceived by Bernardino Luini, the most talented pupil of Leonardo Da Vinci and Santa Maria presso San Satiro, that impresses people with its false apse, an early example of trompe l'œil designed by the Renaissance artist Donato Bramante.
