Milan

Milan was nice, but I didn't realize that Italy is very quiet on Sundays and Mondays.  We arrived on Friday and left on Tuesday...we had to be a little creative with our time.  We visited Cremona for on day and Venice for another to keep ourselves busy.  I'll write separate blogs for those two cities.


Here are the highlights of Milan:


Duomo...up close

St Bartholomew who was skinned alive.  This sculpture by Marco d'Agrate (1562) shows him with his skin wrapped around like a robe.

A tradition says that if you put your right heel on this hole and turn on yourself three times, this will bring you good luck.

Teatro alla Scala.  We did see the inside but photos were not allowed.

Sforza Castle view of the moat. 

The Last Supper.  We did see the real fresco but photos were not allowed.  This is a large poster outside of the real thing.
