Milan, in the time of Leonardo da Vinci. Something strange keeps happening in the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie: the snake from the Sforza coat of arms vanishes from the fresco each morning. One night, Leonardo hides in the dark and catches the Devil himself at work.
A deal is struck. If you, his brightest student, can solve the Devil's riddles across Milan's streets, the artwork will be saved. If not, Leonardo's work is destroyed.
This self-guided walking tour takes you to 10 real locations connected to Leonardo's years in Milan: the Duomo, the Ambrosiana Library (home to his original Codex Atlanticus), the hidden crypt he called "the very centre of Mediolanum," and the vineyard Ludovico il Moro gave him as a gift.
A perfect Milan city game for history lovers, families, and anyone curious about the streets Leonardo actually walked. No booking required.
