San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore

This is one of the most beautiful churches I have seen in Italy.
Considered the «Sistine Chapel» of Milano, San Maurizio is overwhelmingly blessed with walls and ceilings decorated by one of the masters of frescoes Bernardino Luini and his sons.
Entering through the doorway of the Archeological Museum, you walk to the left to the entrance.
Once inside, your eyes are mesmerized by the frescoes of men and women dressed in flowing robes as appropriate in the mid-​1500s.
There is a huge organ on the second floor looming over wooden choir seats.
The frescoes are on a wall separating the church where the general masses sit and the hidden portion of the church where nuns par tipster in the service.
The towards the back are frescoes from passages of the Bible such as Noah’s Ark, the passion of Christ, etc.
The volume of art was spectacular. Having just been restored the color are so freshr-​looking you could be looking at the scenes as they would have appeared when the Master artists finished their work.
Entrance is free but please do tmake a donation to support this incredible treasure.
