History
The church, known as "geseta de Sant'Anna",[1] is located on the site of the ninth century church dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian and attached to a monastery.[2][3] 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.[4] 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,[5] the second is a memorial plaque for the death of her husband and father.[6]
Architecture and arts
The nave is covered by a barrel vault and separated from the presbytery by a depressed arch with Jesus's monogram in the center,[2] 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.[7] There are also paintings depicting the Stations of the Cross and two paintings of the Madonna, Saint Anne and Saint Joachim on the right and the Saints Cosmas and Damian on the left. The restoration of the main door[8], windows and furniture[8] was carried out under the supervision of Belle Arti.
