Church of Sant'Ambrogio, Catholic church in Legnano, Italy
The Sant'Ambrogio church contains a single nave measuring 15 by 9 meters, featuring three cross-vaulted arches and a barrel-vaulted apse.
The original structure dates back to 1389, as documented in the Liber Notitiae Sanctorum Mediolani, with major reconstruction work completed in 1590.
The church displays significant 17th-century artworks by Giambattista and Francesco Lampugnani, including a fresco of Saint Ambrose and paintings of saints.
Recent restoration projects have revealed medieval frescoes and architectural elements, with work continuing through partnerships between the Gatta Trinchieri Foundation and Brera Academy.
Archaeological excavations in 1992 uncovered pottery fragments from the 5th century CE beneath the church foundations, indicating early settlement at this location.
