On my final day in the Milano area, I toured the historic Milano Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria Nascente), the Pinacoteca di Brera art museum featuring a large collection of Italian paintings,
and the Santa Maria delle Grazie (Holy Mary of Grace) Church, which houses the famous Last Supper by Leonardo di Vinci.

Work began in 1386, and it took 6 centuries to complete, with the last details completed in the 20th century.
