It is one of the world's most celebrated works. It was realized between 1494 and 1498 on the refectory wall of the Dominican monastery in St.Maria delle Grazie. It was documented that the particular technique used by the artist and the environmental factors had contributed to the eventual deterioration of the painting that has undergone numerous restorations for this reason. The most recent being 1999, where various scientific methods were employed to restore the original colours and to remove the traces of paint applied from previous attempts of restoration. Extensive measures have been implemented to ensure the work from further exposure. Since the latest restoration the room temperature is constantly checked and visitors intake has been restricted to groups of 25 admitted every 15 minutes.and after….. “pizzata” or ”happy hour”
