About this experience
Milan may not overwhelm with a concentration of ancient landmarks, but ready to love it reveals thousands of interesting details and plots. I will tell in detail, but easily about the origins and development of the city, about outstanding people and about the symbolic places of Milan. The Duomo, Sforza Castle, La Scala, Santa Maria delle Grazie - these and many other landmarks are on the program.
What to Expect
Author's route through the main places
I would like the walk to leave room for discoveries, so I will not list all the amazing landmarks you will see. But the route will certainly include the incomparable Duomo cathedral; Sforza Castle with a picturesque garden, where you can optionally go inside; the square and La Scala theater; the churches of Santa Maria delle Grazie and San Babila.
Chronicles of Milan and city in detail
In a couple of hours, we will be able to 'scroll through' the biography of Milan: you will learn about the birth of the city Mediolanum, about the Visconti, Sforza dynasties and other illustrious families associated with Milan. At the same time, I will not burden you with dates, but will share legends and curious facts. Near the Santa Maria delle Grazie cathedral, we will talk about the life of Leonardo da Vinci and the peculiarities of his 'The Last Supper'. In the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery, I will reveal the history of the frescoes and talk about the coats of arms on the floor that tourists do not notice. By studying such details, you will dispel the myth of Milan's grayness!
