Paolo Veronese was a 16th century Italian painter and is considered one of the most important representatives of Venetian Renaissance painting.
His real name was Paolo Caliari, but he was known as ‘Veronese‘ because he was born in the city of Verona.
Veronese painted many commissioned paintings for Venetian churches and palaces, often depicting biblical and mythological scenes with great pomp and majesty.
His most famous work is ‘The Wedding at Cana’, a large oil painting depicting the miracle of Jesus in the town of Cana, described in the Gospel of John.
Milan is not only a city of art, but also one of the most avant-garde metropolises in Italy, a symbol of enterprise, pragmatism and cultural vivacity.
A visit to what is often referred to as the ‘moral capital’ of Italy can give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in a cosmopolitan environment full of many things to see and do: from sites of historical and artistic interest to innovative and equally fun and stimulating activities, such as those offered by the Museum of Illusions.
