Il cenacolo dipinto è il proThe guided tour of the Last Supper includes the visit of the church Santa Maria delle Grazie. Anna Pinto, a qualified tour guide, will show you the hidden details of Leonardo's painting. Leonardo painted the Last Supper inside of the convent's refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie church, probably between 1495 and 1498, covering an area of 4,6 x 8,8 meters. The painting must be conceived as a banquet, a quit evening with friends after days of conflicts and controversies. Easter, the founding feast of the identity and unity of the Jewish people. Suddenly, the spirits of the apostles are gripped by anguish. Between the different episodes of the Last supper Leonardo chose the most dramatic. While they were eating Jesus said: "Truly, truly, I tell you, one of you will betray me". In the turmoil that follows, in a scene of extreme dynamism, each apostle is represented in his individual character, inherent in his gestures.
