Mausoleo Trivulzio, Mausoleum and chapel at San Nazaro Basilica in Milan, Italy

The Trivulzio Mausoleum stands as a red brick structure with a square exterior and octagonal interior plan next to San Nazaro Maggiore Basilica.

Construction began in 1512 under Gian Giacomo Trivulzio, who commanded French armies in Italy and became lieutenant of Milan after victory in Lombardy.

The mausoleum features three horizontal bands inside, including niches at ground level, family sarcophagi, and large double windows supported by Doric columns.

The structure now serves as the main entrance to the church, while the crypt hosts temporary exhibitions and remains an important historical site.

Under Gian Giacomo Trivulzio's tomb lies an inscription reading 'Qui nunquam quievit, quiescit. Tace' meaning 'He who never rested, rests here. Be silent.'
