Welcome to the impressive Milan Cathedral, also known as Duomo di Milano. A trip to Milan without seeing the Cathedral is no trip at all, so I'm glad you are here to see it. The cathedral is located in the center of ancient Milan, the Roman Mediolanum. It is not only one of the very largest Gothic Cathedrals in the world, but also one of the largest catholic cathedrals ever built. The cathedral is not only famous for its sheer size, but also for its complexity, with decorations in even the most hidden places. The cathedral is ornate with more than 100 marble spires and well over 2000 marble statues. It is also known for the extremely long time span of its construction, as the construction lasted over several centuries. The site of today's cathedral has been the location of religious buildings for a long time. A basilica dedicated to Saint Ambrose was built here already in the beginning of the 5th century. The construction of this Cathedral began later, in year 1386, on order of Archbishop Antonio da Saluzzo. The first main architect was an Italian, but it didn't take long until foreign architects were hired. The cathedral was built during a time when the Gothic architectural style was popular and the French and German architects were considered the best in this field. More than 300 builders were constantly working on the cathedral and almost half of the structure stood completed already in 1402. However, after this point, construction stalled almost totally for 80 years. This was partly due to lack of money and ideas. Another setback was that while the many foreign influences were beneficial, they also caused problems as they not always agreed on what they should actually build. Work did eventually resume and in the 16th and 17th century, many of the internal decorations were added, such as the main altar, the baptistery and wooden choir stalls. The impressive front façade was also added during this time period. In year 1805, the front works were all finished while the construction of the statues continued through the 19th and century. The last details of the cathedral were actually finished as late as in the 20th century. The last gate was inaugurated on January 6, 1965 and with this, a project spanning over 600 years had finally been completed. Due to the cathedrals long construction time, the Milanese have created a phrase "la fabbrica del Duomo" for anything taking eternity to get done. The Cathedral of Milan is considered one of the true Gothic masterpieces. The cathedral's many different architects, together with the fact that the construction lasted for several hundred years, shows in its architectural style. However, only in its details does it reveal its Baroque and Neo-Classical influence. From 1900 some of the less Gothic details of the facade were actually replaced to make it fully in Gothic style. While the outside of the cathedral is truly breathtaking, the same can be said about its inside. The interior of the cathedral includes a huge number of monuments and artworks. You can for example find several sarcophagi of Archbishops who have served in the cathedral. You can also see three beautiful altars and several amazing sculptures and paintings, not to mention the amazing stained glass windows that adorn the apse. There is also a crypt within the cathedral which holds the cathedral treasury. If you have a historical interest, a visit to the treasury is a must. Another thing not to miss is the cathedral roof. A 200 stepped staircase or an elevator in the north side of the cathedral can take you up there. It will give you a great view over old Milan and on a clear day, you can even see the all the way to the Alps. The roof will not only provide you with a great view, in addition, you can study the many spires and sculptures which covers the place. You can also get a closer look at the massive golden statue that crowns the 109 meters tall main spire. Today, the Cathedral of Milan is considered the most important work of gothic architecture in whole Italy. Even though it took a few hundred years to complete it, it was certainly worth the wait.

History

The diocese of Saluzzo was established by Pope Julius II on 29 October 1511, in his bull Pro excellenti.[4]

The church selected for the new cathedral had formerly been the Church of S. Maria Assunta. In 1481 Count Lodovico II prevailed upon Pope Sixtus IV to establish the church as a Collegiate Church, headed by a Dean and six dignities (Archdeacon, Provost, Archpriest, Cantor, Precentor, Treasurer), with twelve Canons.[5] The canonical establishment of the Collegiate Church was carried out by Cardinal Domenico della Rovere on 21 January 1483.[6] As a cathedral, it was staffed by a Cathedral Chapter, which consisted of six dignities (including the Archdeacon, the Archpriest, the Provost, the Cantor, the Precentor and the Treasurer) and twelve additional Canons.[7] The new Chapter collected its various regulations into a Statute book, which was confirmed by the new Bishop on 3 November 1516[8]

A diocesan synod was opened on 3 August 1516 by Bishop Giuliano Tornabuoni (1516–1530). A set of statutes, containing eighty-seven clauses, was issued.[9] Tornabuoni then went to Rome, to have Pope Leo X rule on some questions about civil and religious jurisdiction in the diocese of Saluzzo. But on 22 October 1517 he had already been appointed Castellan of the Castel S. Angelo, which required his continuing presence in Rome; he was still Castellan on 19 October 1521, according to the records of the Chapter of the cathedral of Saluzzo.[10] Saluzzo was governed by his Vicar General, Filippo de Pistorio, and episcopal functions were delegated to Antonio Vacca, the titular Bishop of Nicomedia.[11]

In 1522 the duchy of Saluzzo was attacked by forces of the Emperor Charles V, led by Pompeo Colonna, who were planning to invade Provence. The ducal family was forced to flee, and the town of Saluzzo was taken by the lances of the imperial army.[12] In 1523 and again in 1525 the Marquisate was stricken by the plague. And on 20 February 1525 the whole of Piedmont suffered two large earthquakes.[13]

A diocesan synod, the fifteenth, was held on 5—7 October 1954 by Bishop Egidio Luigi Lanza.[14]
