Leonardo’s Vineyard (Vigna di Leonardo)

In the heart of Milan, just across the street from Santa Maria delle Grazie, lies Leonardo’s Vineyard, a small plot gifted to Leonardo da Vinci by his patron Ludovico Sforza. This tranquil space served as a retreat for the artist while he worked on The Last Supper. Reopened in 2015, the vineyard offers a glimpse into Leonardo’s life beyond his artistic and scientific pursuits. Visitors can walk through the same rows where Leonardo once strolled, experiencing a serene setting that provided him with respite and inspiration. Note that the museum is currently temporarily closed to the public.
