The Sistine Chappel of Milan
You’ll be surprised to discover the inside of the church, which outsides appears so sober that when you walk in the street it is almost unnoticed. Here you’ll admire extraordinary 16th century frescoes made by well-known artists who worked in Milan at that age, such as Bernardino Luni and his workshop, Antonio Boltraffio , pupil of Leonardo da Vinci, Vincenzo Foppa, the Campi brothers and Simone Peterzano, Cavaraggio’s teacher.
The church was originally part of a monastery of cloistered Benedictine nuns, for that reason it is also astonishing that it is divided into two distinct rooms.
Together, you’ll go over the history of the nuns, closely linked to Milan’s history, and you’ll admire the paintings. Moreover, you will learn about stories related to fascinating characters of the Milanese Renaissance.
