Introduzione

Santa Maria delle Grazie is a Unesco world heritage site. The church is also famous for the mural of the Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci which is in the refectory of the convent. This famous church was completed in 1490. 5 years later by “il Bramante” on the wishes of Ludovico il Moro. The famous architect designed the wonderful apse, the cloisters and the old sacristy., Leonardo da Vinci was asked to paint a mural on the refectory wall and the result was one of his most famous masterpieces. Reservations are highly recommended if you do want to see this church, because of this only a limited number of people are allowed to view it at any one time.

History

The Duke of Milan Francesco I Sforza ordered to build a Dominican convent and a church in the place where a small chapel dedicated to St. Mary of the Graces was. The main architect was Guiniforte Solari, the convent was completed by 1469 while the church took more time. The new duke Ludovico il Moro decided to have the church as the Sforza family burial place and rebuild the cloyster and the apse which were completed after 1490. Ludovico's wife Beatrice was buried in the church in 1497.

The night of August 15, 1943, Anglo-American bombers hit the church and the convent. The refectory was grounded, but for some walls, including the one that hold the Last Supper.

The Last Supper

The painting measures 460 x 880 centimetres (15 feet x 29 feet) and can be found in the refectory, it represents the scene of The Last Supper from the final days of Jesus as depicted in the Bible. The painting is based on the account, in John 13:21, of Jesus announcing that one of his twelve disciples would betray him. The painting is one of the most well known and valued in the world; unlike many other valuable paintings, however, it has never been privately owned because it cannot easily be moved.
