The stories that surround the Last Supper (or Il Cenacolo as it's known in Italian) are almost as captivating as the work itself, which covers an enormous wall of the old dining hall in the Santa Maria delle Grazie church. During heavy bombing in 1943, the wall boasting the painting remained intact while the surrounding structure crumbled. Many decades later, the deteriorating work was restored to its original beauty and is now kept under climate-controlled conditions.

The crypt of Milan's patron saint Ambrose rests in the Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio, a church which he built in the fourth century. Beyond its heavy bronze doors, the Basilica reveals a ribbed vaulted ceiling and a decorative canopy with glittering Byzantine Lombard mosaics, supported by four ancient Roman columns and holding court above a gold altar.
