About this experience
Some consider Milan, unlike other Italian cities, to be gray and gloomy - I will prove to you that this is not the case. This city can be compared to an Eastern woman, whose charms are hidden under a veil. Milan must be seen from the inside: its numerous inner courtyards, museums with a unique collection of exhibits, and other masterpieces hidden under the 'covers' of elegant but strict external structures. My tour will help you understand the true beauty of the city and appreciate it properly.
What to expect
See the highlights
During the tour, it's impossible to visit all the unique places in Milan, but I will introduce you to some of them and help plan a route to the best museums and attractions in the city, tell you how to save money when visiting them. We will visit Brera Academy, the heart of the city's cultural life. You will learn how the status of an artist has transformed - from craftsman to philosopher and aesthete. You will see the majestic Sforza Castle, the elegant Victor Emmanuel II Gallery, and the graceful ensemble of La Scala Square. At Cathedral Square, you will get acquainted with the main cathedral of the city, and then visit secret spots in the very center of Milan.
Explore art styles
Milan has always been a city where artists have had great prospects and opportunities for exchange of experience. You will hear about the Venetian, Paduan, and Florentine schools, learn about the peculiarities of Lombard painting. We will talk about the life of the great Leonardo, about the revolutionary method of Andrea Mantegna, analyze the works of Caravaggio, Ayette, Piero della Francesca, Modigliani, and other geniuses of their time. I will teach you to distinguish architectural styles and show how elements of one direction or another are combined in the decoration of the famous Cathedral and Sforza Castle.
More than just words
My story is accompanied by illustrations - in electronic and printed form. We will examine the very canvases that are presented in the Brera Pinacoteca, Sforza Castle, and some churches. After our walk, you can immediately go to these museums and admire the works of Italian masters.
