Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, “the fine art of doing nothing” in Italian. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

- Mainly Milan
After a really nice buffet breakfast at our hotel, we walked to and around the Brera neighborhood (“Milan’s most charming district”). Wandered through Chiesa di San Mauricio Al Monastero Maggiore aka “Church ofGold” aka Sistine Chapel of Milan. Flat white coffee on Starbucks Roastery terrace then toured inside. Got sandwiches to go from All’Antico Vinaio and ate lunch on our terrace. Then went to Santa Maria delle Grazie for guided tour of Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, The Last Supper. Walked through Sforza Castle and the Parco Sempione. Finally, took a recorded walking tour of the Navigli neighborhood ending with dinner al fresco at Osteria Casale.
