Snoop Dogg Prays During Private Viewing of Leonardo’s ‘Last Supper’ in Milan

The after-hours visit was organized by YesMilano with Italy’s Olympic committee to spotlight the host city during the Winter Games.

Overview

  • The private viewing at Santa Maria delle Grazie took place Wednesday around 7 p.m. after public closing and lasted about 30 minutes.
  • Angelo Crespi of the Pinacoteca di Brera says Snoop Dogg raised his hands and prayed before the Cenacolo, moved by the dynamic depiction of the apostles.
  • A photo posted by agency head Luca Melloni shows the rapper with hands lifted in a prayer gesture before Leonardo’s mural.
  • Crespi also recounts that Snoop Dogg quietly hummed the Dirty Dancing theme, “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life,” during the visit.
  • He is in Italy as an NBC Olympics correspondent and Team USA’s first honorary coach, moving around Milan without bodyguards and filming content for his social channels.
