Conservative restoration

Between the presbytery area of the Podium of Santa Maria delle Grazie, and Bramante’s cloiser, there is a room, conventionally called "Room of the bell tower," as it communicates with the base of the bell tower.
The room was used as a warehouse for many years and, therefore, remained unknown to most people. The walls are painted with motifs and figures of saints. Stratigraphic and diagnostic evaluations, and restoration works carried out in 2006 provided interesting information about decorations and sculptures, and especially revealed precious paintings.
