Description
The church
gives the name to the road and the ancient neighborhood St. Michele. On
its
left side there's Mercato's
square, neuralgic center of the
historian and popular Fair or Feast of St. Michael. Scarce
they are the
documents related to the origin of this small church, the actual one
probably
rises on the ruins of an ancient chapel devoted to Michael the
archangel, the
archangel of the victorious battles. The chapel is situated where in
1339,
there was the first clash of the famous Battle of Parabiago. The actual
structure, in base of the construction's style, should be dated to the
first
halves the XVII century. The facade is in mole-classical forms. Now
entering we can admire the only aisle
with a deep apse that welcomes the altar. A great central fresco
represents St.
Michael that pierces Lucifero and the Virgo and posts them to the feet
of the
cross of Christ. The tabernacle, almost hidden behind the altar, is
provided of
a gold plate and represents the center the last supper. The actual structure probably rises on the ruins of an ancient chapel
devoted to Michael the archangel, the archangel of the victorious
battles. The chapel is situated where in 1339, there was the first
clash of the famous Battle of Parabiago.
