'''Saint Anne's Church''' is in San Damiano, a hamlet of Brugherio, in the Province of Monza and Brianza.{{Coord|45|34|3.37|N|9|18|17.09|E|display=title}}
Brugherio's devotional pilasters were erected, after the plague that struck Monza and the near territory in 1576 in the four points in which they were placed altars used to celebrate religious services. Information about this plaque could be found in the notes of the visits to the population done by the Bishop of Milan, Saint Charles Borromeo. The plague of 1576 was in fact called "the plague of Saint Charles" in memory of the closeness of the Bishop to those affected.<ref name="Brugherio">{{cite book | | |title= Brugherio: i suoi luoghi, la sua storia: 225. anniversario del primo volo italiano in mongolfiera con uomini a bordo |Language= Italian|date= 2009 |publisher= Comune di Brugherio |___location= Brugherio}}</ref>

== HistoryDevotional pilaster ==
During the spread of the plague, the faithful gathered in prayer around the altar outdoor places, to avoid contagion to which they were exposed indoors. At the end of the plague they dismantled the altars but it was decided to erect in these places devotinal pilasters, as an act of gratitude by survivors.
The church, known as "geseta de Sant'Anna",<ref>{{Cite web|autore = |url = http://www.comune.brugherio.mb.it/export/sites/default/documenti/Settore_Servizi_alla_Persona/Cultura/in-giro-per-la-citta/chiese.pdf|title = La chiesetta di San'Anna in San Damiano|language= Italian|accessdate = 16 April 2015}}</ref> is located on the site of the ninth century church dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian and attached to a monastery.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last= Porfidio|first= Vicky|title = Brugherio: i suoi luoghi, la sua storia|language= Italian||page = 52}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last= Sangalli|first= Enrico |url = http://www.parrocchie.it/monza/orizzontionline/libro/07Chiesa_SantAnna.pdf|title = La chiesa di Sant'Anna di San Damiano|language= Italian|accessdate = 16 April 2015|page = 68}}</ref> During his pastoral visit in 1578 Saint Charles Borromeo decided to demolish the building. In the eighteenth century it was built the new church: a private chapel adjacent to the Villa Viganoni-Benavides, the summer residence of the family Parravicini in the nineteenth century and now demolished. The church was dedicated to Saint Anne probably by Antonio Parravicini and his wife Isabella Blasi.<ref>{{Cite book|last= Porfidio|first= Vicky|title = Brugherio: i suoi luoghi, la sua storia|page = 53}}</ref> They placed the marble altar painting of the Education of the Virgin that came from another church in Milan. In 1808 Isabella Blasi put the at the sides of the altar two plaques of black marble. The first presents a petition to Saint Anne recommending father Blasio,<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|last= Sangalli|first= Enrico||url = http://www.parrocchie.it/monza/orizzontionline/libro/07Chiesa_SantAnna.pdf|title = La chiesa di Sant'Anna in San Damiano|language= Latin||page= 71|quote= ISABELLA GENERE BLASIA / CONJUGIO PARRAUICINA /BLASIUM PATREM / DIVAE HANNAE / HEIC HAERES EX ASSE /COMMENDABAT / MDCCCVIII / ANNO AB OBITU II.|}}</ref> the second is a memorial plaque for the death of her husband and father.<ref>{{Cite web|last= Sangalli|first= Enrico||url = http://www.parrocchie.it/monza/orizzontionline/libro/07Chiesa_SantAnna.pdf|title = La chiesa di Sant'Anna in San Damiano|language= Latin||page= 71|quote= ISABELLA BLASIA PARRAVICINIA / INFRA TRIDUM / VIDUATA VIRO / ORBATA PATRE / HEU DOLOR / ANTONIO PARRAVICINO/ CONJUGALIS AMORIS / MONUMENTUM / MONUMENTO / P.I. / MDCCCVIII.|}}</ref>
They are placed in piazza Roma, next to the Church of Saint Bartholomew; in Viale Lombardia, not far away from the old cemetery; in Torazza and in San Damiano. At the top of all there is the symbol of the cross, supported by architectural details recognizable as spheres, cones, capitals, etc. In some cases the pilasters report also inscriptions, not always legible.

It is located next to the parish church. On the ball at the top it there is written: ''In Hoc Signo Vinces, the capital Deo Sacrum Christ Jesus'' and on the basis of the column Sicut Moses esaltavi Serpentem in Desert sic''.'' On the stone block which forms the pedestal: ''Spes omnium Salus Fidellium Branda Scottus fecit proud. Anno Nativitatis MDLXX Maj I''. The inscription of the year is likely incomplete because the column was built by Bernard Scotti in 1576.<ref name="Brugherio" /><ref>{{cite book |first= Manuela |last= Mancini |title= Brugherio: presente e passato |language= Italian|date= 1996 |publisher= Swan Edizioni|___location= Milano}}</ref> It is also known as ''Cross Scotti''.
The nave is covered by a barrel vault and separated from the presbytery by a depressed arch with Jesus's monogram in the center,<ref name=":0" /> and floral motifs at the sides. The left aisle leads to the sacristy, used as a women's gallery in the past and accessible directly from the Villa. After some restoration, there were found five niches with murals of faux marble friezes and with archways decorated with golden stars. These niches contain two wooden statues of the Virgin and Child and Saint Joseph, a crown and a scepter with the palms of martyrdom in reference to saints and martyrs.<ref>{{Cite web||url = http://www.visitbrianza.it/index.phtml?Id_VMenu=470&daabstract=923|title = Brugherio - Chiesa di S.

=== Pilaster in viale Lombardia ===
== Note ==
Located near the old cemetery (but prexisting to it) on viale Lombardia, it is characterized by a cone at the top. Also on it there is written the name of the manufacturer of Brugherio, Bernard Scotti, who had it built in 1578. For years it was not very visible, embedded in the wall of the building and hidden by vegetation.<ref>{{cite book |first= Luciana |last= Tribuzio Zotti |___location= Brugherio: luoghi memorabili |date= 1987 |publisher= Parole Nuove |___location= Brugherio}}</ref> In recent times it has been moved across the street.<ref>{{cite book | | |title= Piano di governo del territorio. B04: Repertorio dei beni storici e ambientali ||language= Italian|date= 2013 |publisher= Comune di Brugherio |___location= Brugherio}}</ref> On the pedestal of the column it is written: ''Sicut Mojses exaltavit Serpentem in Desert.'' On a square stone placed under the base'': Ego sum lux et veritas Mundi via vivorum life.'' In the western side of the pedestal'': Sic Deus dilexit Mundum ut suum Filium unigenitum daret pro nobis.'' In the eastern side'': Ecce nomen super omne nomen et omne and genuflectatur.'' In the northern side'': Hic quem videtis true solus Dominus Noster est et our glory. Branda Scotus fecit.'' It is also known as ''Brugherio Cross'', or ''House Scotti''.<ref>{{cite book |first= Luciana |last= Tribuzio Zotti |title= Brugherio nei documenti ||language= Italian|date= 1986 |publisher= Musicografica Lombarda |___location= Brugherio}}</ref>
