Santa Maria in Strada, Monza

In 1756, architect Giovanni Battista Riccardi added a frame at the base of the vault and several stucco fake columns, reconstructed the high altar in marble and gilded bronze, and opened several chapels.

The decoration of the façade's summit includes a statue of the "Madonna with Child", between two circles and Lombard bands crowning the upper edge.

The bell tower, originally of the same height as the façade, is decorated with mullioned windows, Lombard bands and a cusp.

The secondary altars on the sides are decorated with frescoes and a canvas of the Moving of the Icon of Madonna del Buon Consiglio (1756), by Francesco Ferrario.

The presbytery and the choir are decorated with frescoes by Giambattista Gariboldi, including an Assumption of the Virgin (and a Glory of St. Augustine, respectively.
