One
of
the
most
harmonic
architecture
I
have
ever
seen.
Facade
impresses
you
with
clearness
and
finalizeness
in
each
line.
Two-color
solution
is
extremely
stylish
and
reminds
of
Tuscany
architecture
traditions
though
with
a
pinch
of
Lombardian
medieval
decorative
taste.
Interior
is
from
much
newer
ages
but
it
doesn't
interfere
with
the
overall
perception:
it
is
peaceful
and
revered
shrine,
we
were
lucky
to
see
the
preparations
for
a
wedding
ceremony,
it
made
this
place
even
more
charming.
There
is
an
important
chapel
to
the
left
of
the
high
altar
-
Theodelinda
Chapel
dedicated
to
the
early
medieval
queen
of
Lombards
who,
is
believed,
commissioned
this
basilica
and
gave
a
beginning
to
the
prosperity
of
Monza.
The
chapel
is
decorated
with
frescoes
of
Zavattari
and
is
the
place
where
the
Iron
Crown
of
Italian
kings
is
stored.
To
visit
the
chapel
you
should
ask
for
it
on
the
museum
desk
(entrance
is
from
the
church
just
to
the
left
of
the
chapel
or
from
the
street).
Ah,
yes,
a
peacock-lectern
is
splendid
though
in
my
case
the
choir
of
wedding
singers
stood
around
so
I
can't
eximine
its
nice
decorations
but
I
enjoyed
the
singing
much
more
to
be
honest.
