San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore is a stunning church located in Milan, Italy, renowned for its rich history and exquisite Renaissance art. Originally part of a major Benedictine convent, the church dates back to the early 16th century. Its interior is adorned with magnificent frescoes by Bernardino Luini and his school, depicting religious scenes and figures with remarkable detail and vibrant colors. The church is divided into two main sections: the public area and the nuns' choir, which is separated by a wall and accessible through a small door. The nuns' choir is particularly notable for its beautifully decorated wooden stalls and more frescoes by Luini.
