Air Serbia » Er Srbija | 19 Everyone’s heard of the Duomo di Milano, the beautiful cathedral in Milan city centre, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II or La Scala opera house. You certainly won’t miss out on them in Milan, but we’ll begin by recommending that you start your day with a cappuccino, after which you should make sure to visit these three places… Da Vinci's Last Supper Milan is famous for Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece mural The Last Supper, which is located in Santa Maria delle Grazie Church. What makes The Last Supper so dramatic is the use of perspective. In order to make it, Da Vinci hammered nails into the wall and hung ropes. It encompasses an unbelievable 8.8 by 4.6 metres, was created in 1495 and is painted on the wall, but isn’t a fresco. Leonardo used this picture to show the precise moment when Jesus tells his apostles that one of them will betray him. The Last Supper proved to be an inspiration for popular culture, and versions of it were created by, among others, Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol. Of course, you mustn’t miss the chance to see this work in Milan, but one problem is that it is extremely difficult to get tickets, which are sold out in advance and, as such, should be reserved online. Three spins for luck On the floor at the centre of the Galleria VittoFrom the Last Supper to Lake Como rio Emanuele II is the mosaic of a bull that represents the nearby city of Turin. For who knows what unusual reason, legend has it that if you turn around three times in the circle of this mosaic you will receive good fortune. This custom has remained to this day, so don’t miss the chance to enjoy this unusual dance if you visit the Galleria. Lake Como Situated at the foot of the Alps, approximately 45 kilometres fromMilan, Lake Como provides one of the world’s most picturesque landscapes. With a surface area covering 146 square kilometres, the water of this third largest lake in Italy is dispersed in an unusual three-branch configuration that forms the shape of the letter Y. Reaching a depth of 410 metres, it is also among Europe’s deepest lakes. It was already a popular resort area during the time of the Roman Empire, when Julius Caesar himself would come to the area, but it has also attracted famous composers, novelists, poets and painters. Holidaying here today are the likes of fashion designers, Hollywood stars, politicians and businessmen… In the intersectional part of Lake Como stands the town Bellagio, known as the “pearl of the lake” and the “Italian Beverly Hills”. Probably among the most beautiful villages in Europe, it has characteristic cobbled streets and steps that adorn shops, bars and restaurants, as well as the fantastic botanical garden of the Villa Melzi and Villa Serbelloni (which have been owned by the Rockefeller Foundation since 1959). Upon returning to Lake Como from Bellagio, you will encounter interesting villages like Nesso, with its spectacular waterfall and bridge, while the capital of Como city appears magnificently in front of you. odMilana, u podnožju Alpa, smešteno je jezero Komo Lake Como is situated at the foot of the Alps, 45 kilometres fromMilan 45 km Foto: depositphotos / Evgenii Iaroshevskii Foto: depositphotos
