BRIEF
How to create a unique cultural experience based on the Last Supper in Milan? LeonardoaMilano needed a new and revolutionary idea to innovate its guided tours to the Last Supper for Italian and international visitors alike.
OUR SOLUTION
Learning by doing is a well-known principle, dating back to Aristotle, going all the way to modern pedagogists like Malcolm Knowles, who wrote: “the primary techniques in education are experiential ones”. Our idea was to incorporate that principle into a classic guided tour like the Last Supper Tour to maximise learning impact and fun. We decided to make people re-enact the Last Supper themselves before being brought to see the real Last Supper. The experience involves dressing up as the Apostles and assume the same body positions of the original characters, as they were imagined by Leonardo. This way tourists and visitors from all backgrounds and of all ages can appreciate the subtleties of Leonardo composition and really understand the magnificent “theatre of emotions” he wanted to put on stage. The result is a fun-packed, highly interactive experience which proved incredibly attractive and successful.
SUCCESS
Over 1000 visitors from every part of the world tried our Last Supper Experience, with enormous appreciation, as proved by the enthusiastic Tripadvisor reviews. Newspapers, travel guides and blogs were ready positive reviews on the Last Supper Experience, like La Repubblica, Trivago, and many others.
