buongiorno readers! (that's hello in italian). it's been a while since i last posted a good read. well, today will be no different i'm afraid. no random facts to read just yet but i do have pictures for you which i think will be an equal substitution for now. i'm not posting a lot of pictures though.. i don't want to be one of those distant relatives who show their holiday photos and killing those who watches it slowly.. here are just a tiny some of mine. enjoy!
the very beautiful Piazza del Duomo. a lot of expensive shopping can be done here.
and just outside.. the Duomo. the third largest church in the world. 3500 statues decorate the cathedral. it took 500 years to complete from 1386
ofcourse, what visit would be complete without going into museums.
old decorations of the past. fancy having that to show-off for raya eh?
believe it or not, this mummy was someone's collection. but being superstitious, the former owner donated this mummy in 1854.
church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. some of you may gasp at the name if you're an art buff. this is the place where one of the most famous painting is located. it's none other than Leonardo Da Vinci's The Last Supper. yup. unfortunately, we didn't get adore the painting.. apparently, you have to book WEEKS in advance for a viewing. so, keep that in mind.
the statue of the great man himself. Leonardo Da Vinci.
the 506 submarine. strangely enough, our room has the same number.
the museum of technology. this part, exhibits recreations of Leonardo Da Vinci's brilliant sketches.
i wonder if they blogged back then too.. hmmm
some monuments are just plain silly..there you have it. just a quick look-through of my time in milan. i'll post videos once i edit it. a good-read post coming your way tomorrow!
