The Church of Saint Bartholomew (Italian: Chiesa di San Bartolomeo) is the cathedral and the oldest parish in Brugherio, Italy.

[8] At first, he wanted to include as part of the church's estate a few local farmhouses, such as Cascina de' Bastoni (with its oratory of Maria Nascente), S. Cristoforo of Ottavo, S. Damiano, Sant'Albino, Sant'Ambrogio and S. Donato.

In this same year, on 27 May,[15] the partial relics were transferred from the nearby saint Ambrogio's church, while under the supervision of the parish priest Francesco Bernardino Paleario.

[17] He described that the church's façade was decorated with cornices, pilasters and bands with a pediment gabled sharp that "befitted the structure itself".

[18] There were also paintings found inside, including one depicting the Martydom of saint Margaret, belonging to the seventeenth century.

[24] The new parish priest, Giuseppe Maroni,[17] called the Milanese artist, Giovanni Valtorta, to paint the frescos which are still extant.

[25] Also in the second half of the nineteenth century, Father Michael Rotti (1884–1894[17]) built the pulpits[26] to the side of the presbytery and the Tornaghi organ.

[28] Since the completion of the frescoes made by Enrico Mariola[29] under the supervision of Father Luigi Fumagalli (1898–1921),[17] and the work of architect Leo Sorteni, the church had largely retained its appearance.

This time however the church was enlarged by the decision of Archbishop Ildefonso Schuster, who had presented Sorteni to the parish priest, Father Giuseppe Camagni (1921–1957),[17] on the occasion of the pastoral visit of 1937.

[30] Sorteni enlarged the building by stretching naves up to 42 metres (138 ft), and renovated the facade and built a new rectory.

Among them, an entrance is located under the bell tower, which was built after the demolition of Ca de sciatt,[34] which was an area reserved for people too poor and ashamed to go to church.

[35] The nave is divided from the side aisles by corinthian columns that support the vault in the gallery, designed by Sorteni.

[37] The relics of the Magi are kept in a copy of the ancient shrine of the seventeenth century, made in light of the 400th anniversary of the transportation in the parish.

The stained glass windows were made in 1937 by Gio Ponti, depicting the Martyrdom of St. Bartholomeus and the Adoration of the Magi.

[38] The canopy[39] was built in 1845, commissioned by Don Nova, winning first place from the Imperial Royal Austrian Government.[where?

[41] Canon Antonio Francesco Frisi wrote about the church tower as a building constructed between 1751 and 1771[42] with funds provided by Count Pallavicini GianLuca, Governor of Milan,[43] and the Marquis Silva.

At the time of pastor De Petri, there were only three bells,[46] but during the nineteenth century Father Gioachino Farè (1820–1838),[17] Gian Andrea and Giuseppe Nova Schieppati (1895–1898)[17] had the belfry widened.
