Visited this place twice... the first was on the same day I had off from work and went to the The Arce della Pace, Parco Sempione, and the Castle. Unfortuntely, it was one of the few overcast days we've had here. I thought it was worth going back in the sunshine and I wasn't disappointed.

oh, and just up the street happens to be the shop of the most famous milan purse designer...😊

I spent quite a bit of time studying these men. Simple but beautiful.

The one in the middle is Bishop Ambrogio. He had the church built between 379-386AD and later he was named Milan's patron saint.
