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: Antonio De Petri (or Petro), parish priest from 1778 to 1819, took inspiration from the Monza historian Antonio Francesco Frisi's works, called Memorie storiche della città di Monza, and wrote a report about Saint Bartholomew's church. He described that the church's façade was decorated with cornices, pilasters and bands with a pediment gabled sharp that "befitted the structure itself". It was possible to enter through three locations: a wider entrance to the center and two minor entrances to the sides; each input corresponded to a nave. The aisles were closed by the side walls. Above the main door there was a window that provided light to the central nave. The aisles were divided by three arches supported by twin doric columns of stone with a wide intercolumniation covered by a lintel, the columns being leaned on the side of the presbytery and the facade, above four pilasters. There were also paintings found inside, including one depicting the Martydom of saint Margaret, belonging to the seventeenth century. This report from De Petri established drastic changes compared to the Borromeo brothers' description. The current bell tower was also built within this period.
