Product description
The canvas presented here captures a moment from Sforza‑era Milan: Leonardo da Vinci, accompanied by the young Giacomo Caprotti known as Salaì, makes his way toward Santa Maria delle Grazie during the years in which he is working on the Last Supper (1494–1498). The composition opens with a wide, luminous panorama: on the left, one can glimpse the convent refectory where the Last Supper is taking shape. Leonardo has chosen the moment of the announcement of the betrayal, and Giorgio Vasari celebrates it as the supreme example of the master’s ability to render ‘the motions of the soul,’ giving life to a scene that seems to breathe.
On the right side of the canvas lies the famous vineyard that Ludovico il Moro would grant Leonardo in 1498, at the end of the work: a plot of about sixteen pertiche located near the Casa degli Atellani, just a few steps from the church. Here, the vineyard becomes a poetic counterpoint to the construction site of the Last Supper—a place of quiet, meditation, and study of nature that Leonardo considered an integral part of his Milanese life. Its presence in the scene is not only a historical reference but a symbol of the deep bond between the artist and the city, between ingenuity and the land, between the labor of creation and the nourishment of the spirit.
Salaì walks beside the master with his customary liveliness. Vasari recalls him as one of the youths who frequented Leonardo—sometimes unruly, yet always close to his creative world. Their moving figures, suspended between the vineyard and the refectory, unite art and everyday life, offering a vivid fragment of the Milan of il Moro: a place where Leonardo’s genius finds space, sustenance, and destiny.

Our Mission
Our project is a playful‑cultural experience designed for anyone who wants to live history in a new way:
from teenagers, who can approach the great events of the past in an engaging and enjoyable manner, to enthusiasts who wish to enrich their homes with artistic canvases capable of elegantly telling the stories and protagonists of our nation’s past.
The characters we portray are not simply figures from history: they are the roots of our identity, the voices that shaped our culture, our way of thinking, and even the places we inhabit.
Beyond visual impact, we want to restore the pleasure of touch: not only through the natural texture of cotton, but also through the tactile depth and glossy highlights achieved during printing — details that add dimension and a uniquely sensory feel.
In an age dominated by digital screens, our canvases invite you to rediscover an authentic, physical, and sensorial experience.
It is a product that blends quality and culture — but above all, it is an invitation to rediscover the pride of belonging to an extraordinary history.
Because being Italian means carrying with us a heritage that deserves to be celebrated.
Where are our products made?
Our products are entirely made in Italy, within the Over S.r.l. facility — a company active in the cardboard sector since 1978.
In 2025, a production department dedicated to digital printing for visual communication was introduced, allowing us to combine industrial expertise and aesthetic research within a single production space.
Every stage of the process takes place in‑house: from design to printing, from production to packaging, all the way to shipping. Everything is managed in our warehouse, giving us direct control over quality, materials, and timing.
IBAM is a registered trademark of Over Srl: a choice that ensures 100% Italian production, a short supply chain, and high quality standards.
For us, ‘Made in Italy’ is not a label — it is a concrete process, followed step by step.
What materials do we use for our products?
We place great importance on the quality of our canvas prints, made from 100% cotton — plastic‑free and naturally eco‑friendly.
We use GREENGUARD Gold‑certified inks, which ensure vibrant colors and exceptional long‑term stability, enhancing every historical and iconographic detail.
Likewise, for our cat beds we use corrugated cardboard, a fully eco‑sustainable material thanks to its recyclable nature.
A choice that combines environmental respect, functionality, and care for our four‑legged friends.
Difference between Textured Finish and Flat Finish
The textured finish allows for extremely realistic reproductions, adding depth and three‑dimensionality to the image.
Thanks to the use of up to nine layers of matte and glossy UV varnish, it creates a raised effect that simulates real brushstrokes and enhances the most distinctive details of the illustration.
High‑definition flat illustrations, on the other hand, use a single layer of matte UV varnish: they have no relief, but ensure vibrant, stable colors that remain resistant over time and to sunlight.
