Message from Francesco Meola

San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore is also known as the 'Sistine Chapel of Milan'. It's located in Corso Magenta, in the very heart of the city.

The church features 16th-century frescoes by Bernardino Luini and other Renaissance artists. It was once part of a Benedictine monastery.

It's divided into 2 sections: one for the faithful and one for cloistered nuns, and it's possible to visit both nowadays.

The monastery later became the Archaeological Museum of Milan, separating it from the church. A highlight is the 16th-century Antegnati organ, restored in 1982 to recover its original sound.

This is a must-visit place in Milan and it's free to go inside.
