SAN MARCO’S CHURCH

The Church of San Marco is situated in the Brera zone. This is the second church in Milan. According the tradition, the church was dedicated to San Marco for the help offered to Milan by Venice in the fight against Barbarossa. In the eighteenth century, Mozart lived in the rectory for three months. On May 22,1874 the Requiem Mass by Giuseppe Verdi was first performed. Verdi composed this Requiem in the first anniversary of Alessandro Manzoni’s disappearance. The façade is the result of a restoration in 1871 that kept the portal with all the transom, a gallery of Gothic arches, the rose window and three stones, attributed to Giovanni Of Viboldone Balduccio; In the first chapel on the right nave are frescoes of Lomazzo with the History of Saint Peter and Paul. In the center of the central wall there is the tomb of Blessed Settala Lanfranco. In 1345 the brother Erasmo, Arnolfo Aliprandi Giovannoli met in San Marco for the donation of three houses, a chapel dedicated to St. Ursula.
In this chapel in 1958, during restoration works carried out by Tirelli to recover the remains of the Gothic structure, was discovered in a sort of niche a fresco depicting the Madonna and Child.
