Reviewed By alessandrofL127YD - Milan, Italy
Beautiful church of the early 600s s considered the masterpiece of Francesco Maria Richini and the prototype of the church with a longitudinal plan of northern Italy and the Central Europe. Exterior designed with strict criteria of proportion between the various volumes of the entire building, facade with a single portal flanked by niches with statues and surmounted by a nineteen-century bad-relief. The lower order of the facade is punctuated by ionic pilasters, while the upper one has an entablature and connected with two volutes and a beautiful large window with a balcony decorated with curvilinear broken frame. Internally the longitudinal plan of the church appears as two bodies with central plants, the wonderful octagonal hall and is inscribed in a square crowned by a splendid dome supported by enormous twin columns. Innumerable works of art can be admired in the niches, on the altar and on the walls, such as the painting by Procaccini depicting the death of Saint Joseph, wonderful the painting of Giovanni Stefano Danedi and Andrea Lanzani On the high altar you can admire a beautiful bad-relief and the statue of Saints Joseph
