Monza – Il Duomo

            Raro esempio di chiesa con facciata bicroma in Lombardia, rappresenta una delle più importanti testimonianze dell’architettura del Trecento. 
Secondo la leggenda le origini del Duomo di Monza risalgono all’anno 595 quando la regina longobarda Teodelinda, moglie in seconde nozze del re Agilulfo, fece erigere la basilica chiamata Oraculum dedicata a San Giovanni Battista. 
Nel 1300 con l’affermazione dei Visconti sulla scena politica lombarda la basilica fu oggetto di una pressoché totale ricostruzione. L’intervento fu in due tempi. Dopo la prima fase, terminata nel 1346, la chiesa si presentava con tre navate e facciata tripartita, più bassa dell’attuale, a fasce marmoree bianche e nere. 
La seconda campagna edilizia, avviata trent’anni dopo, ebbe come progettista l’architetto Matteo da Campione. All’impianto originario furono aggiunte le cappelle laterali, ampliate le absidi e, per ristabilire le proporzioni, la facciata fu innalzata ed ampliata.
Gioiello della pittura lombarda del quattrocento è la Cappella Zavattari, a sinistra dell’altare maggiore, dove si conserva il ciclo di affreschi con le storie della regina Teodelinda e la leggendaria Corona Ferrea.

Monza - The Cathedral
Rare example of a church with two colors facade in Lombardy, it constitutes one of the most important examples of the fourteenth century.
According to legend the origins of Monza Cathedral dates back to 595 when the longobard Queen, Teodolinda, second wife of King Agilulf, built the church called Oraculum dedicated to St. John the Baptist.
In 1300 with the statement on the political scene of the Visconti in Lombardy, the basilica was the object of an almost total reconstruction. The procedure was divided into two times. After the first phase, completed in 1346, the church had three naves and tripartite facade, lower than the current, striped white and black marble.
The second building campaign, which started three decades later, had as designer the architect Matteo da Campione. New chapels were added to the original, the apses were expanded and, to restore the proportions, the facade was rebuilt and enlarged.
The Chapel Zavattari, on left the high altar, is a jewel of Lombard painting of XV century where there are the cycle of frescoes of the stories of Queen Teodolinda and the legendary “Iron Crown”.
