The Last Supper
On a recent visit to Milan, the wife and I went to see Leonardo Da Vinci's famous mural painting The Last Supper. Tickets have to be booked in advance and cost approximately €10. A maximum of 25 people are allowed into the room - a former refectory of the Dominican order - at any one time due to its deterioration, and one is allowed only 15 minutes. I wasn't sure what to expect. Although I've never read or seen Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, I've seen its image in countless tellybox programmes and books. Despite being impressed by this work of art, I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that I badly needed a shit.
