	The Last Supper at Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan, Lombardy - lastminute.com
		Milan is founded around a historic nucleus radiating from the Cathedral, with a star-shaped axis of arteries spreading through modern suburbs to the ring road.
		Milans economic success was founded at the end of the 19th century, when the metal factories and the rubber industries moved in, replacing agriculture and mercantile trading as the citys main sources of income.
		Milans position at the heart of a network of canals, which provided the irrigation for the Lombard plains and the important trade links between the north and south, became less important as industry took over and the waterways were filled.

		Milan had regained its economic predominance in the region, and played a major role in the Comuni movement.
		The period when Maria Theresa held sway, during the second half of the 18th century, was characterized by a strong revival operated by lay forces in all sectors of society.
		In Milan he continued his engineering projects and worked on an equestrian figure for a monument to Gian Giacomo Trivulzio, commander of the French forces in the city; although the project was not completed, drawings and studies have been preserved.

	Santa Maria delle Grazie, Italy. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com
		The displays of glass phials, kitchen utensils and jewellery from Roman Milan are compelling, and though there's a scarcity of larger objects, there is a colossal head of Jove, found near the castle, a torso of Hercules and a smattering of mosaic pavements unearthed around the city.
		First built as a Gothic church by the fifteenth-century architect Solari, Santa Maria delle Grazie was partially rebuilt under a dissatisfied Lodovico Sforza by the more up-to-date Bramante, who tore down Solari's chancel and replaced it with a massive dome supported by an airy Renaissance cube.
		When the monks complained that the face of Judas was still unfinished, Leonardo replied that he had been searching for over a year among the city's criminals for a sufficiently evil face, and that if he didn't find one he would use the face of the prior.

	Cenacolo - Santa Maria delle Grazie
		The Church and Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie were built between 1465 and 1482 to designs by Guiniforte Solari.
		Ludovico Sforza's vast program, which also envisaged the replacement of the façade and part of the nave and aisles, was never concluded for the sudden death of Beatrice in 1497 and the fall of the Sforza regime in 1499 interrupted work, although the apse, the sacristy and the Last Supper appear to have been finished.
		Today they are still considered extremely important works and are significant examples of Renaissance Milan despite the transformation and damage caused by bombing on August 16, 1943, which destroyed the library and the cloister of the dead.

	The Refectory with the Last Supper after restoration by LEONARDO da Vinci
		After Ludovico il Moro was made duke of Milan in 1494, he decided to make the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie his family's burial place.
		After conquering Milan in 1499, the French king is even said to have expressed the desire to bring it to France, but his advisors were apparently able to dissuade him on the grounds that, given the technological conditions of the time, transporting the painting would have been tantamount to destroying it.
		In 1943, during an air raid, a bomb exploded in the refectory of the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie and destroyed the roof and the wall to the right of the Last Supper right down to the foundations; the work of art, protected by sand bags, fortunately survived this catastrophe largely unscathed.

		Even before this show, all of the work of Giorgio Reggio, who was born in Milan in the 1960’s, finds its voice in that neo-chiarista aspect, even though not yet clearly sacred, in an informal material that sometimes verges on areas of clear abstraction.
		There is an entire series of red Milan churches, strong and powerful, done in mixed techniques and on display at Santa Maria delle Grazie, the oldest and most historic churches in Milan, from Sant’Ambrogio to San Nazaro, from San Babila to the Cathedral.
		His is a light that pierces the material placed upon the canvas and lightens even the significance underlying the representation: it is a light born from afar that attests itself, as we said, in that chiaro-style painting that originates in Lombardy, the land of fog and mist.

		His prowess as a designer of narrative compositions is evident in his studies for the mural of the Last Supper (Refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan), painted in 1493–98.
		Leonardo repeatedly stated that the two most formidable challenges facing a good painter were the portrayal of man and the intentions of the mind (le passioni dell'animo) through physical gestures.
		This long and relatively happy period of multifaceted activity in Leonardo's life would come to an abrupt end in autumn 1499 with the invasion of Milan by the troops of the French king Louis XII and the expulsion of Ludovico Sforza that December.

	Milan's tours - Renaissance Milan: Last Supper of Leonardo da Vinci
		Leonardo started work on the fresco - judged by many the genius's greatest work - in 1496 when he received a commission from Ludovico who, after having enlarged the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, decided to enlarge and decorate the Refectory (Dining Hall) of the adjacent Dominican monastery.
		Leonardo painted it using an unconventional technique, sometimes without letting of a paintbrush the whole day long, other times not picking up a paintbrush for days at a time.
		All the lines of the rigorously symmetrical composition converge on Him in perfect perspective, including the gestures and glances of the apostles, each of whom is portrayed reacting differently according to his psychological state, to the words of Christ: "One of you would betray me".

		The work was commissioned by the Duke of Milan, Lodovico il Moro, for the refectory of the monastery adjoining the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie - in fact the lunettes above Leonardo’s Last Supper contain ducal family crests.
		The refectory itself has had a chequered history, being used for various purposes including stables during the French occupation of Milan from 1499 (during this period a door was opened beneath Leonardo’s fresco, effectively cancelling any trace of Christ’s feet in the painting).
		He designed Milan’s canal system, frescoed some ceilings in the castle (Sala delle Assi, Castello Sforzesco), and lived in the Stelline palace just opposite the road from Santa Maria delle Grazie (his orchard at the back is now a modern sculpture-garden and can be visited).
