Beautiful neoclassical basilica of the Servite friars community dedicated to St. Carlo Borromeo in about 1840, there is a resemblance to the Pantheon in Rome which, however, is enormous in comparison. The small square in front of the basilica does not enhance it as much and neither does the bar that defiles the facade and covers part of it, around the basilica 36 Corinthian granite columns, beautiful the front with columns and pediment. Internally it is the only basilica where it feels a minimum of heating is circular, various frescoes by Zenale, Testori, Lomazzo, entering the holy water fonts on the sides which are the true giant valves of a bivalve mollusk of the Pacific Ocean, the weight ranges from 200 to 300 kg. The church is not always open, it has closing breaks, it opens 7 30/12 and 16.00 / 20.00
