Well, the first time was about 2 years ago and I didn’t pay much attention to the artworks but the big names. What’s more, the famous “The Kiss” by Francesco Hayez was […]

  • Venice – St. Mark’s Basilica & Church of San Giorgio Maggiore

  • Pinacoteca Ambrosiana – Leonardo da Vinci and the secrets of the “Codex Atlanticus”

    The Pinacoteca Ambrosiana is one of my favourite art galleries in the world and in fact, this is already my third time visiting it. Each time I could always discover something new.
