Mausoleo Trivulzio

Chapel and vestibule

This lovely chapel is situated at the entrance of the San Nazaro church. It was built on the facade of the Basilica of St. Nazaro on 1512, forming a sort of vestibule that leads directly to the nave. With an octagonal interior and a square exterior, this chapel, commissioned by Gian Giacomo Trivulzio as a family mausoleum, was started by Bramantino and finished by Cristoforo Lombardo in 1550. It is currently undergoing restoration, however, according to recent studies, the extreme simplicity of the interior is due to the will of the commission and not to lack of resources.
