San Marco
The basic structure is 13th-century Romanesque, while
the Neo-Gothic façade was restored in 1871. The three
statues depicting San Marco between Sant’Ambrogio
and Sant’Agostino (above) are works of the Campionese
school (see p114).

Basilica of San Nazaro Maggiore
Founded by Sant’Ambrogio towards the end
of the 4th century, the basilica has been altered
many times, but restoration work has revived
its original austere beauty. Do not miss the
