context_page_description: The Church of Saint Bartholomew is the cathedral and the oldest parish in Brugherio, Italy. It houses relics of the three Magi. It is characterised by its relatively high bell tower measuring 36.8 metres.
context_section_description: The church, since 1939, presents a Latin cross shape. It is divided into three naves accessible by three doors on its facade. These aisles are 42 meters long and end in three different points of the building: the left aisle ends at the entrance of the sacristy, the nave reaches the chancel and the right aisle ends with a door. On the southern side of the church there are two other entrances. Among them, an entrance is located under the bell tower, which was built after the demolition of Ca de sciatt, which was an area reserved for people too poor and ashamed to go to church. The demolition of Ca de sciatt was ordered by Sorteni. The nave is divided from the side aisles by corinthian columns that support the vault in the gallery, designed by Sorteni. A large dome dominates the area from the transept to the chancel. In the church there are also two side chapels dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary and St. Joseph. The altar is dedicated to him and it is a late baroque work. The raised presbytery ends with a semicircular apse.
