Check with Tiqets to visit Leonardo da Vinci’s Milan vineyard
Leonardo's Vineyard is just a few feet from the Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, which houses the master's great masterpiece, the Last Supper. The vineyard was one of Leonardo da Vinci's most prized possessions, and was given to him in 1498 by the former Duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza who commissioned the artist to paint the Last Supper. Visitors can stroll through the house, the vineyard, the garden, and the greenhouses and admire the original vines. To round out the visit the ticket includes a downloadable tour of Milan on smartphones, to explore the city's highlights from a new perspective.

The Torba Monastery, from Roman to Byzantine days
The Monastery of Torba, hidden in the Lombard forest, about an hour from Milan, was built by the Romans and it is possible to enter the ols Roman tower that protected the monastery from the barbarian invasion. It then passed into the hands of the Goths, the Byzantines and, finally, the Lombards. The tower once housed magnificent frescoes, traces of which can still be seen today.
