Near the Duomo, in the oldest part of Milan, you can visit the interesting Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, where you can admire the “Portrait of a Musician”, painted by Leonardo around 1480. Leonardo, himself a musician, put a sheet with notes in the hand of the young man portrayed. Particularly impressive are the eyes of the man, vitreous and looking-aside.

In the nearby and beautiful Biblioteca Ambrosiana is conserved the largest and more precious of Leonardo’s Codices, the Atlantic Codex, of which only exceptionally some sheets are shown to the public. You can check the website www.ambrosiana.it to see if you are fortunate enough to visit Milan during these days..
