BASILICA OF ST CHARLES BORROMEO

MILAN

ITALY

Servite neo-classical basilica in the city center of Milan, al Corso... Built after an epidemy of cholera and commemmorating St Charles, the patron saint against plague.

"If we wish to make any progress in the service of God, we must begin every day of our life with new eagerness.”

- St Charles Borromeo

This is truly a church of the city, its classicist facade fits in well in the shopping area of the downtown Milan and the dome where Charles Borromeo was a bishop is just over the corner.
