Leonardo in Milan

Milan

3rd – 8th February 2012

5 nights

Lecturer: Charles FitzRoy

Our tour is designed to complement the major exhibition on Leonardo da Vinci at the Court of Milan in the National Gallery, and we will be arranging a special visit to this prior to the tour.

The Visconti and Sforza Dukes of Milan made the city one of the great centres of Renaissance culture, and we will be exploring the works they commissioned: Leonardo’s great fresco of the Last Supper, delightful frescoes by his major pupils, and Bramante’s soaring architecture in the choir of Santa Maria delle Grazie. There is much else to admire: the superb Old Masters in the Brera Museum and the venerable Romanesque basilica of Sant’ Ambrogio.

In addition we will be visiting a couple of wonderful private houses in the city, with collections of priceless Old Masters. We end the tour by attending a performance at the world-famous opera house of La Scala.
