Chiesa dei Santi Ambrogio, Gervaso e Protaso a Bisentrate
The current building dates back to 1520, built over a pre-existing chapel dedicated to Saint Ambrose (already documented in 1398). It represents an example of simple religious architecture, deeply rooted in the Ambrosian tradition.
Architectural Features
Structure: A single nave with a rectangular plan and a gabled façade, characterized by a central entrance and an oculus.
Interior: The nave is simple and undivided, illuminated by side windows. The presbytery has a square plan with a ribbed vault.
Evolution: While in the 16th century it had beaten earth floors and a wooden roof, in the 1970s it was adapted to modern liturgical norms (altar facing the faithful).
Artistic and Decorative Elements
Frescoes: The pictorial decorations are concentrated on the walls and vault of the presbytery.
Prestigious Details: There are historic votive paintings and a reproduction of the Last Supper on the altar frontal.
