The route through the most famous places of Milan, which are connected with the work of one of the greatest artists of all time, painter, sculptor, architect, scientist, inventor, and unique genius of the Renaissance - Leonardo da Vinci. Let's start our amazing journey with an ingenious hydraulic structure - a sluice designed by Leonardo in the service of Duke Ludovico Sforza. We will walk through the streets of the city to the Leonardo da Vinci monument in La Scala Square, and we will go to the Leonardo Museum 3, which is a few meters from the square. After a cup of fragrant Italian coffee, we will visit the Leonardo room in the famous Ambrosiana Gallery, which is entirely dedicated to da Vinci's paintings and also displays the Atlantic Codex. We will visit the atmospheric Trivulzio Library, where the Trivulzio Codex (Leonardo's notebook) is located. Then we will continue our walk to the refectory church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, which houses the masterpiece of the great artist - fresco "The Last Supper". Not far from the church, we will find the Atellani house, where Leonardo lived for a long time, as well as Leonardo's Vineyard, the master's secret passion. After delicious lunch at the Bebel restaurant, we will go to the Museum of Science and Technology, where everyone will have the opportunity to explore Leonardo's design works, as well as look at machines and devices recreated by experts from Leonardo's sketches. We will end our incredible route in the area of the San Siro racetrack, where there is a reproduction of the world-famous statue of Leonardo's horse.
