Milan - Sant'Ambrogio

 
The church of Sant'Ambrogio east of the National Museum in Milan was founded in 386 by St Ambrose. 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).
