Milano is famous for many things..the duomo...the fashion district..and most importantly the Last Supper by none other than Leonardo da vinci (just realised that in Italian this means Leonardo from vinci!! haha) in Santa Marie della Grazie....
Being highly sought after...this can be viewed only by appointment...so off we went to Santa Marie della Grazie on our stipulated time....reached there on time..and what we hoped was to see this:
But......instead we were greeted by:
Ya!!! the last supper was on strike!!! Welcome to Italy!
I have no clue why they were on strike...apparently they were upset with the government...I have begun to realise why this country is facing a huge debt crisis...
Anyways..ended up walking around the church and found this amazing Gelateria! Shockolat!!! a must try if you are in Milan...its on Via Boccaccio 9
So the last supper will have to wait while I enjoy my pistacchio gelato...
some snaps of the church...
A'presto!
