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...

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...

L'ho sentita chiamare la Sistina di Milano. Non esageriamo, è molto bella, più che altro non siamo abituati ad accedere in un posto che nasce e si sviluppa oltre la chiesa, inglobando, oltre la parte riservata ai fedeli, una zona conventuale senza soluzione di continuità, essendo ricavata dalla stessa navata, semplicemente dividendo con una parete che effettua la separazuone delle due zone. Il soffitto è bellissimo per le forme delle cornici e i motivi del dipinto, che niente hanno di strettamente religioso. Una volta all'ingresso si può vedere la parte con accesso ai fedeli, ma il vero concentrato di bellezza sta oltre la parete divisoria, che separa la navata in 2 e ricorda concettualmente tanta architettura moderna, per il fatto che è non è alta fimo al soffitto, come ti aspetteresti, ma limitata al verticale delle pareti laterali, lasciando tutta la volta della navata libera. Dietro la parete un bellissimo organo ed un coro ligneo di par fattura ti trasportano in tempi di musica sacra se non più indietro ai canti gregoriani, e capisci perché la parete non si innalza fino al cielo, lasciando questo compito appunto al suono che raggiunge i fedeli. I dipinti alle pareti lasciano l'iconografia classica dei martiri e dei santi per diventare ampi paesaggi liberi da ogni sovrastruttura umana e pienamente immersi nella natura, che diventato vie di fuga che lasciano la clausura del luogo significata dalle due finestrelle che dal coro si affacciano verso i fedeli. Ecco dove San Maurizio arriva a toccare il cuore di chi lo visita, rendersi conto di quanto esso descriva la vita d'altri tempi ed il pensiero che la costruiva. Prima di uscire si resta affascinati dal controsoffitto a balcone che si appoggia sempre alla parete divisoria, che diventa così il passaggio tra due mondi che possono essere collegati solo dal suono. Vale proprio la pena d'essere visitata, un luogo che ti trascina via, per poco tempo da una città sempre in moto, regalandoti delle ferie cortissime, ma sempre...
