During his first visit to Milan with his father, between January and March 1770, Mozart stayed at this Baroque-style church, a monastery of Augustinian monks at the time.
It was the first of five visits to the city in his lifetime, and a formative experience for the young musician who spent his trip composing vocal arrangements, and received his very first commission for an opera. Be sure to take a look at the plaque commemorating Mozart’s stay in the rectory, as well as the numerous mosaics, statues, sculptures, and the famous bell tower restored in the 19th-century.
