MILANO | CORSO GARIBALDI

This church is a special case of a “double church,” similar to that of San Cristoforo al Naviglio, also in Milan.Looking from the churchyard, the church on the left is the oldest, because it already existed in the communal age, was governed by the hermit fathers of San Marco, and was dedicated to Santa Maria di Garegnano.
Next to the church, in the early 15th century, a convent was built for the Augustinian fathers, who restored the old church in the late Gothic style typical of that century. Since the works WERE completed on the occasion of the coronation of Francesco Sforza as Duke of Milan (1451), they named it after Santa Maria Incoronata, dedicating it to the new lord of the city.
