context_page_description: Saint Ambrose is a small church which is an annex to the farmhouse that takes its name from it, in Brugherio, Italy.
context_section_description: The religious complex was home to various religious orders: the Benedictines, the Augustinians and the Humiliati. On the site of the present church there was another built during the twelfth century. The Humiliati in 1539 moved to the monastery of Saint Catherine Chiusa of Milano, while maintaining ownership of the monastery. Among the assets of the monastic complex there was a chapel used for prayer mentioned by Cardinal Federico in the report of the pastoral visit of 1596. In it, he describes the precarious architectural state (which prompted a series of restorations undertaken until 1621), and the wealth of the church utensils. The church appears in the maps of the Teresian Cadastre of 1763, including a building located along the road to Carugate.
