Verso il 1250 una piccola comunità di monaci benedettini dava vita ad una Cappella dedicata a S. Gottardo dove ora sorge l'omonima Chiesa Parrocchiale. E di questa loro presenza permangono ancora significative tracce. Attorno al 1500 i benedettini, trasferendosi in centro città, lasciarono la conduzione della Chiesa alla parrocchia di S. Lorenzo mentre i fedeli continuavano a crescere. Rimaneggiata ed ampliata, la Chiesa assurgeva nel 1568, sotto S. Carlo,(Carlo Borromeo, allora Arcivescovi di Milano), alla dignità di Chiesa Parrocchiale. A quell'epoca, era alta 10 metri,larga 12 m. e lunga 30 metri. Di questa prima costruzione, rimane il ricordo in una stampa del 1796 e cosi si conservò fino al 1832. Dal 1832 al 1836 la Chiesa subì una nuova radicale trasformazione: vi si aggiungeva il transetto, veniva progettata un'ampia e spaziosa cupola e al di là del transetto veniva collocata l'area del presbiterio, con deambulatorio. La Chiesa raggiungeva così la lunghezza di 56 metri. Chi oggi entra in essa e la guarda è colto da "un senso di profonda continuità stilistica e da una sorta di imponenza ben calibrata ed elegante". Merito anche dell'opera di abbellimento e di decorazione. Vanno ricordati in particolare: la dotazione del prestigioso organo dei Fratelli Lingiardi di Pavia (nel1875); gli affreschi del celebre pittore L. Morgari e gli eccellenti stucchi del Secchi che con lavoro coordinato abbracciano tutta la Chiesa (fine 800). In seguito non si è perso tempo! Basti pensare al pavimento, alle vetrate, agli altari … Il tutto è poi stato ripreso e restaurato a fondo in questi ultimi vent'anni fino alla costruzione del nuovo altare rivolto al popolo che armoniosamente si innesta, con stile e colori, in un'unica artistica realtà. Intanto mentre procedeva l'opera di restauro, a poco a poco si è andata accrescendo una ben articolata vita pastorale e liturgica. Oggi chi entra in Chiesa durante una messa domenicale è spontaneamente portato a provare un senso di benessere spirituale che lo coinvolge, che lo trattiene e gli fa desiderare di tornare ancora. Centro spirituale della Parrocchia è la Chiesa Parrocchiale e centro della Chiesa è l'altare dove la comunità si raccoglie per la celebrazione della Messa. Il nuovo altare rivolto al popolo mirabilmente inserito nella struttura esistente per stile e colori è proprio, di per se stesso, un invito ad avvicinarsi fisicamente per le celebrazioni liturgiche. Critiche e commenti come sempre super gradite. C'è la versione originale a colori, chi volesse vederla, non ha che da chiedere e la posterò molto volentieri. Grazie a tutti.

A Sergio, thank you my friend, I had thought of that too, but when I tried, the result I honestly did not like it. Guilt, doubt of my very little familiarity with the PP. Friendly as always, a big thank you.
A dear greeting
Annamaria :-P
