Located at Corso Magenta, 15, 20123 Milan MI, Italy 🇮🇹. This chapel is quite underrated because it doesn’t look as eye catching as the famous Milano Duomo. Once I walked inside though, I was struck by the sheer beauty of it. Everything in San Maurizio has colour, whether it’s paintings, mosaics or gold glitters everywhere. Nothing is uncovered by some form of colour including the pillars, ceilings and walls. The church is nicknamed the ‘Sistine Chapel’ of Milan. The church is located at what used to be the most important convent for women in Milan. The construction of this church took about fifteen years and took place in the sixteenth century. The building was split into two parts – one for the nuns and one for the faithful – and it was not until the end of the eighteenth century that this strict barrier disappeared. The church is not very big, but it’s definitely worth visiting. There’s no admission fee and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I am so glad I visited San Maurizio. Thumbs up!!! 👍👍👍

This church is amazing! A masterpiece of the renaissance. One of its most brilliant artists is Bernardino Luini who was in contact with Leonardo da Vinci and inherited much of his influence. It is open to the public for FREE (with the green pass) only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The wow effect when entering in this church is thanks to a recent restoration All the volunteers are so kind and willing to tell you the secrets and stories behind the paintings. One of them told me that the Noe's Chest painting (you can find it in the second room, at the back) has 2 curiosities: 2 unicorns, and 3 dogs (one of them was the painter's dog!! hahahah). (I love the renaissance period and I am researching much of its legacy in Milan city. To visit Milan through this lens, see airbnb experiences)
