J.D. Vance, the Vice President of the United States, recently visited Milan, Italy, causing significant disruption among local residents and Olympic tourists. His visit particularly affected access to the famous mural 'The Last Supper' located in Santa Maria delle Grazie, a site well-loved by visitors. For nearly four days, access to the mural was restricted, sparking outrage among tourists who had planned to see the iconic artwork. The church responsible for the mural did not provide a clear explanation for the closure, leading to frustration among disappointed visitors.

Locals expressed their anger at the disruption caused by Vance's entourage, which included changes to public transportation routes without prior notice. Residents voiced their concerns that the needs of the local population were overlooked in favor of accommodating a high-profile visitor. One local lamented that the area had been closed off just so someone could view the mural, questioning the lack of consideration for community members.

Vance's visit not only highlights the impact of political figures on local tourism and daily life but also raises questions about the balance between security measures for dignitaries and the rights of residents and tourists to access public cultural landmarks. The incident serves as a reminder of the tensions that can arise in cities that host international events and the complexities of managing large-scale public visits by foreign dignitaries.
