Church of San Satiro in Milan.
Near Piazza del Duomo there is this beautiful little church that hides an impressive secret.
Impressive because it is an optical illusion, created by the artistic genius of Bramante, who with the use of perspective makes the church much deeper than it actually is.
I don't want to copy from the internet, if you want to learn more either go and visit the church or read on the internet what it is about.
And you, have you ever been to this Milanese church?

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.
