Things to see and do Grands lacs italiens

By entering the dining of the old Dominican convent, we are facing the most famous fresco of art history, La Cène, da Vinci de Vinci. This fresco (9 m x 5 m), made between 1495 and 1498, represents Jesus to the Apostles the betrayal of one of them. The colours of the Supper did not support the passage of time, because of the technique used by the painter. A great inventor, Leonardo did not paint "a fresco" (fresh) but, in order to modify the work as he pleases, he used on a dry wall a mixture of oil pigments. Twenty years later, moisture and dirt had already altered the masterpiece. The Supper underwent several restorations over the centuries, up to the one that came up nearly twenty years ago and made her splendour and original colours. It should be noted in passing that this restoration has not been unanimous among experts, particularly with regard to the brightness of colours.

Garda is a popular tourist destination. With its sixty hotels, residences and modern convention center, Garda offers a wide range of facilities to welcome visitors. The Gulf of Garda is a real gem, with its blue waters and Mediterranean vegetation. To the north of the gulf lies Punta San Vigilio, a must-see for celebrities on vacation on the Riviera. To the south, the Rocca hill offers a breathtaking view of the lake. Garda Castle once stood on this hill, giving its name to the lake. Garda has been renowned for its tourism since Roman times, and the locals have developed a range of first-rate tourist activities. Garda's surroundings are also full of interesting places to visit, such as Malcesine with its Scaligero castle and funicular to Mount Baldo, Riva del Garda or Limone. Garda's restaurants offer delicious cuisine based on lake fish, olive oil and local cheeses. A walk along the lake or an evening swim in its waters are experiences not to be missed. The Garda tourist office is located in Piazza Donatori di Sangue.

Until the th century, the Porta Ticinese district, consisting of a dense network of navigli (canals), was considered the port area of Milan. The Navigli district is one of the most characteristic of Milan. Its bridges and its boxes di ringhiera (typical Milanese houses characterized by internal courtyards surrounded by balconies with flower railings) make us discover the old face of the city, which is now virtually extinct. For the sake of tradition, don't miss a tour at the Vicolo de'Lavandai, a small alley on Naviglio Grande, where you can still see a th century washing machine. In the evening, the Navigli district is very popular with young Milanese people. There are numerous bars, cafés and typical restaurants and, during the summer months, there are bars and terraces along the banks, making Navigli an ideal place for the walk and the dredge.
