		This Cathedral, admired through long ages, termed in its own city, whose artists bear no mean name, the eighth wonder of the world, is described by a modern critic as exhibiting nothing better than a heap of unmeaning ornaments.

		In the sanctuary of this Cathedral there are four statues, one of which, that of St Bartolomeo, never fails to attract attention, and obtain for the statuary that praise, which his modest, or, perhaps, rather vain, inscription affects to disclaim.

	Duomo di Milano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Il Duomo di Milano is the cathedral of Milan in Lombardia, Italy.
		Construction coincided with the accession to power in Milan of the archbishop's cousin Gian Galeazzo Visconti, and was meant as a reward to the noble and working classes which had been suppressed by his tyrannical Visconti predecessor Barnabò.
		However, Borromeo's main intervention was the appointment, in 1571, of Pellegrino Pellegrini as chief engineer—a contentious move, as it necessitated a revision of the Fabbrica's statutes, as Pellegrino was not a lay brother of the duomo.
