We returned to Milan on June 18th, having departed Stresa around 7AM and strolled around parts of the city we hadn’t seen before. We started at Santa Maria della Grazie to visit inside. When we stopped by the Last Supper we never entered the church.
This is a recently designed window; note the modern buildings in the background.
We made our way to the Navigli canal district. The area comes alive at night with its cafes and bars. Let’s start with a photo of scooper boats cleaning the canal and then pictures of the paths and cafes and even a wall Madonna.
Heading back toward the Duomo, we stopped in the Church of San Giorgio al Palazzo where I took these two pictures.
Some random photos. I was intrigued by this building.
In the Basilica of Sant’ Ambrogio, I snapped this fresco.
Who said Milan is lacking in graffiti?
We visited the Castello Sforzesco . . .
. . . where Michelangelo’s last Pieta is on display. It’s unfinished as he died while sculpting it. First is a shot of JoAnn and the Pieta.
And a photo of me taken by JoAnn.
Last but certainly not least, the unfinished Pieta. Michelangelo has certainly aged his subjects. Look at Jesus’ legs, lacking in muscle tone and Mary’s haggard face.
These three photos, taken as we were leaving the castle show the courtyard, the columns and frescoes on the ceiling.
Goodbye Milan. Tomorrow home.
Just fabulous
