Christian Milan.
The Milanese not only honor their patron saint Ambrose of Mediolanum, but also call themselves the ‘Ambrosian tribe’.
In the city center, you will find libraries, art galleries, pharmacies, restaurants, and other establishments bearing his name. ‘Sant’Ambrogio’ – this is how his name sounds in the Milanese dialect, or Saint Ambrose – is one of the four fathers of the Catholic Church.
On this tour you will see:
The Basilica of Saint Ambrose (Basilica of the Martyrs) – the most beautiful of the surviving churches from the Romanesque period. Founded by the Bishop of Mediolanum Ambrose in 379 AD. In the 4th century, it received the relics of the first martyrs. Here is the triple crystal shrine with the relics of Saint Ambrose and Saints Gervasius and Protasius.
