The ‘Chapel of the ballet dancers’ houses an installation of ex-voto offerings by Mimmo Paladino, a Transavantgarde (Neo-expressionist) artist, alongside works by Sean Shanahan.
The Chapel owes its name to the ballerinas from Teatro alla Scala, who until the1980s used to leave flowers here in front of the 14th-century fresco of the
Madonna of the milk on the night of their debut.
Of great interest along this section of the tour are also the imposing
Sacristy, carved in wood by the Taurino brothers in the 17th century, and two works found in the vestibule to the Sacristy:
The Crowning of the Virgin Mary by
Ambrogio Figino and the
Transfiguration of Jesus by Bernardino Campi.
