Leonardo 's St John The Baptist on display in Milan for a month, free entrance

From 27 December, visitors will have the unique opportunity to see one of Leonardo ‘s most famous works: San Giovanni Battista; the painting on loan from the Louvre will be on display in the Alessi Chamber in Piazza Marino, Milan, for a whole month.

The San Giovanni Battista was one of Leonardo’s favourites , so much so that the artist couldn’t bear being separated from it and carried it with him wherever he went.
