Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio

Piazza Sant'Ambrogio, 15, 20123 Milano MI

Romanesque crypt where a bishop's skeleton lies beside two martyrs he unearthed in a dream.

This guide to the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio in Milan opens with Bishop Ambrose's dream the night before dedicating his new church in the year 386, when two dead men appeared and told him where their bones lay buried outside the city walls. You'll hear what his workers found when they dug at that spot, and how a blind man in the crowd was said to react to the relics. Eleven years later, when Ambrose himself died, he was buried in this same ground, beside the two men from his dream.
