Santuario di San Camillo de Lellis
The Santuario di San Camillo de Lellis stands in Milan at the corner of Via Boscovich and Via Lepetit. Its neogothic façade combines plaster above with exposed brick below. A central brick spire-campanile rises over the entrance, with white marble buttresses, niches, trifora windows, and rosettes.
The Camillians began construction in 1900, after Cardinal Ferrari blessed the first stone, and completed the church in 1937. Three naves open inside, with narrower side aisles and galleries beneath interlaced fan tracery. Twelve pink marble columns from Lake Garda support the vaults, while Eugenio Cisterna’s stained glass fills the space with colour.
More than five hundred carved figures animate the wooden Via Crucis by Brother Annibale Pagnoni. Altars honour the Madonna del Carmelo, San Giuda Taddeo, San Camillo, and the Madonna della Salute. The Tamburini organ, installed in 1952, has two expressive cases, two keyboards, and a pedalboard.
