Two immortal names, Leonardo da Vinci
and Donato Bramante, have made this church eternally
famous. The church stands in the square of the same
name. It was built between 1466 and 1490 to plans
by Guiniforte Solari, but a few years later Ludovico
il Moro commissioned Bramante to redesign the apse,
which has a splendid "tribune", a fine example
of the Renaissance use of space. Bramante also designed
the cloister and the old sacristy. Leonardo da Vinci's
famous "Last Supper" is on one of the walls
of the old Dominican monastery refectory. He began
work on the fresco in 1495, and finished it in 1498.
As soon as you know when you are going to be in Milan,
book a visit: at certain times of year it is hard
to find slots even a week ahead.
