Introduzione

The church of Sant'Ambrogio is east of the National Museum in Milan. The present church is a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture (12th century; choir ninth century). Notable features of the interior are the pulpit, restored about 1200, with late Romanesque carving, and the casing (paliotto) of the high altar, a masterpiece of Carolingian art (made in 835 at either Milan or Rheims).

History

One of the most ancient churches in Italy and one of most historically interesting medieval buildings in Lombardy. It was begun in 379, and was a small three-aisled, transept-less church. In 386 it was consecrated by St. Ambrose who, when he died in 397, was buried beside the bodies of St. Gervase and St. Protasius inside the Church. The first name of the church was in fact Basilica Martyrum. In 739 the monastery of the Benedictine Monks was built next to the church and in the 9th century the simple right bell-tower, known as the bell-tower of the monks, was erected. The apse and the presbytery were constructed in the 10th century, while in the 12th century, the aisles, the drum, the entrance and the left bell-tower, known as bell-tower of the canons (in Lombard Romanesque style with pilaster strips and friezes of little hanging arches) were built. It was finished in 1889 with the completion of the three-arched loggia. At the end of the 15th century, Cardinal Ascanio Sforza gave the task of constructing the cloisters and the portico of the rectory to Bramante. In the following centuries other changes was made, but in 1857 the archduke Maximilian of Austria ordered that the baroque additions to the church be removed. It was damaged in the august 1943 bombings, and restored by the architect Ferdinando Reggiori. The atrium in the form of rectangular portico, replaces the one in front of the church, built by the Archbishop Ansperto who governed the Milanese clergy from 868 to 881. It was given its present form in the first half of the 12th century.

Location

Address: Piazza Sant'Ambrogio, 15 - 20123 Milano

Atrium and front facade

Like early Christian basilicas, this Romanesque church has an atrium or colonnaded court in front of and attached to the church. It has a two-story narthex, or entry porch, with arches on both floors. Many Lombard churches, like this one, are built of brick; the clay in this region fires to a deep red. Lombard churches are also characterized by tall square belfreys. The south tower (right), the Old Monk's Tower, dates to the 10th century whereas the taller north tower, the Canon's Tower, is dated in the 12th century. The huge gable over the nave and aisles is also characteristic of Lombard churches.
