Chiesa di San Satiro a Milano.
Vicino a piazza del Duomo c’è questa bella chiesetta che nasconde un segreto impressionante.
Impressionante poiché è una illusione ottica, creata dal genio artistico del Bramante, che con l’uso della prospettiva rende la chiesa molto più profonda di quanto non sia in realtà.
Non voglio scopiazzare in giro dalla rete, se volete approfondire o andate a visitare la chiesa oppure leggete su internet di cosa si tratta.

Here is where the church is located:

One of the main obstacles to the creation of a monumental structure was the lack of space for the choir, since the space behind the transept was occupied by the Contrada del Falcone. The problem was brilliantly solved by Bramante through the creation of reliefs and moldings in terracotta that were subsequently painted to form a perspective escape that simulated in 97 centimeters of depth a space equal to the arms of the 9.7 meter transept inspired by the previous studies of the Prevedari Engraving, becoming the strong point of the building.
