A day trip to Milan was our last stop in Northern Italy!
It's crazy to think that just a few months ago devastating pictures of Milan filled the internet as COVID-19 first hit Europe. When we visited, places were definitely still more empty than normal. In all of the famous places we entered, we had our temperatures checked (like the other locations we visited on this trip). But overall, it was a totally blessed, pleasant experience visiting.
Here's what we saw:
Milan Cathedral
Grand Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
Sant Ambrogio
This is the Cross that was used in 1576 to save Milan from the epidemic. The Cross was in the Basilica to help protect against COVID-19:
The crypt houses St. Ambrose's body (dressed in white pontifical robes), in the middle of two martyrs Gervasius and Protasius:
St. Ambrose's sister, St. Marcellina's remains:
Around Milan
Basilica di San Lorenzo
Relics of St. Natalia
Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie
The attached building houses Leonardo da Vinci's famous mural painting The Last Supper:
Parco Sempione
We ended our stay in Northern Italy with delicious gelato! As Brian would say, it was a great last supper!
