San Pietro in Gessate Church, Gothic and Renaissance church in Milan, Italy.
The church features a central nave with two side aisles divided by granite Corinthian columns and flanked by decorated chapels filled with frescoes.
Built between 1447 and 1475 by architect Guiniforte Solari, the church replaced an ancient structure dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul.
The Grifi Chapel contains notable frescoes depicting Stories of Saint Ambrose created by Bernardino Buttinone and Bernardo Zenale in the 15th century.
The building underwent restoration in 2018 with the installation of a dehumidification system to protect the interior paintings and decorations.
The church originally connected to a navigable moat linking to the Cerchia dei Navigli waterway, used for wool transportation by the Umiliati religious order.
