   Through a door by the altar lies Milan's hidden crown jewel: the restored 16th-century royal chapel. Bernardino Luini's breathtaking frescoes immortalise the star of Milan's literary scene at the time, Ippolita Sforza, and her family, alongside amazingly blissful martyred women saints - note Santa Lucia calmly holding her lost eyes, and Santa Agata casually carrying her breasts on a platter.
