San Gottardo al Corso Church

San Gottardo al Corso Church, Roman Catholic church in Milan, Italy.

San Gottardo al Corso Church is a single-nave church with side chapels on a Latin-cross plan, topped by a large dome. The square bell tower holds a five-bell diatonic concert in D major; the two largest bells were restored in 1951 by the Fratelli Barigozzi foundry. The facade was rebuilt by Cesare Nava in 1896, and the interior is decorated with frescoes by Giovanni Valtorta and Luigi Morgari.

The church is first documented in 1398 as a Benedictine oratory. In 1568 Cardinal Carlo Borromeo had it rebuilt and elevated to parish status, one of four extramural parishes of the Porta Ticinese district, later included from 1782 in the Comune dei Corpi Santi. It was re-consecrated on 31 December 1900 by Archbishop Andrea Carlo Ferrari, when it counted 21,345 parishioners.

The church was the religious reference point of the borgo known as "burg dè furmagiatt", just outside the customs wall near the Darsena and the Naviglio Pavese, an area of intense commerce that the corso still keeps today. It also served the hamlets of Conca Fallata, Cascina Chiesa Rossa and Morivione. Re-consecrated on 31 December 1900 by Archbishop Andrea Carlo Ferrari, it then counted 21,345 parishioners and housed several confraternities, a male and a female oratory, and six priests.

The church stands at the start of Corso San Gottardo, in Milan's Municipio 5, outside the old Porta Ticinese walls and near the Darsena dock area. The corso keeps the commercial life of the old "burg dè furmagiatt" and is walkable from the city centre. The bell tower holds a five-bell diatonic concert in D major.

The square-plan bell tower holds a five-bell diatonic concert in D major. Little is documented about the bells, but the two largest were restored in 1951 by the Fratelli Barigozzi foundry of Milan, a detail easily missed when looking up from Corso San Gottardo.
