#Milan #day 2

We woke up quite early in the morning. But before we went out, we spent an hour recording a video! All of us took a role of a superhero and doing "trampoline" on the bed instead and rescue our boss - Esther!
Our first stop is the Branca Tower near to the Sfroza Castle.
Torre Branca is an iron panoramic tower located in Parco Sempione, the main city park of Milan, Italy.
However, again, it was under renovation when we arrived.

So, we went to Climitero Momumentale after this.
The Cimitero Monumentale is one of the two largest cemeteries in Milan, Italy.






The memorial of about 800 Milanese killed in Nazi concentration camps is located in the center.
The weather is so hot! I felt like I am back to Malaysia. But the thing is that I miss everything in Malysia, but not the weather!
Wow, epic of the day,the well-known must-see last supper painting by Leonardo Da Vinci in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy.
It seemed like he did a lot of thinking of this painting beofre he drew. 
He began working on it in 1495, and finished "The Last Supper" in 1498. This is worth noting, as Leonardo was a known procrastinator with a marked tendency to leave projects unfinished.
"The Last Supper" is Leonardo's visual interpretation of an event chronicled in all four of the Gospels (books in the Christian New Testament). The evening before Christ was betrayed by one of his disciples, he gathered them together to eat, tell them he knew what was coming and wash their feet (a gesture symbolizing that all were equal under the eyes of the Lord). As they ate and drank together, Christ gave the disciples explicit instructions on how to eat and drink in the future, in remembrance of him. It was the first celebration of the Eucharist, a ritual still performed.
Specifically, "The Last Supper" depicts the next few seconds in this story after Christ dropped the bombshell that one disciple would betray him before sunrise, and all 12 reacted to the news with different degrees of horror, anger and shock.
Well, that' all for second day...
