at 12mm, 1/13 f/7.1, ISO 2000, hand held. Milano, Italy.

Il monastero è stato fondato nel 1135 in un'area originariamente paludosa e incolta a pochi chilometri a sud delle mura di Milano e precisamente dalla zona di Porta Romana. Alla costruzione, voluta da san Bernardo e supportata dalla popolazione milanese, hanno contribuito diversi benefattori e autorità. Oggi rimane poco o nulla delle antiche strutture, ma la costruzione della chiesa attuale è iniziata tra il 1150 e il 1160, su una prima cappella originaria. Nel 1221 il vescovo di Milano Enrico Settala consacrò la chiesa ultimata. Dopo aver superato il portone duecentesco si coglie subito la pianta a croce latina, disposta su tre navate con volta a crociera, sorrette da piccoli pilastri in cotto ai lati, e con abside piatta. Il corpo principale è formato da quattro campate, mentre una quinta più piccola forma il presbiterio. I bracci del transetto sono formati da due campate di forma rettangolare, mentre l'incrocio viene deformato dalla cupola della torre. Arrivati alla quarta campata si notano i pilastri rettangolari, collegati a un muro che sostiene il coro. Si nota comunque una generale incertezza del progetto e delle misurazioni, che fa pensare[9] a una prima opera. Nonostante l'Ordine cistercense sia caratterizzato (per via del volere di san Bernardo, come simbolo di povertà) da una quasi totale mancanza di decorazioni, gli affreschi della cupola e delle tombe sono una chiara eccezione; è solo in seguito, nel XVI e XVII secolo, che la chiesa viene affrescata in stile barocco, in modo a volte esageratamente ricco, in netto contrasto col volere del fondatore, ma secondo le nuove direttive del Concilio di Trento. I fratelli Giovan Battista e Giovan Mauro Della Rovere, detti i Fiammenghini, si dedicarono alla decorazione di gran parte dell'interno della chiesa; in particolare il transetto e il presbiterio sono decorati da un ciclo seicentesco. Inoltre alcuni pilastri, la controfacciata (appena sopra il portale) e la volta sono stati decorati dai due fratelli. Commenti, critiche e consigli sempre super graditi. Grazie.
