San Vito in Pasquirolo (San Vito in Pasquirolo - Parrocchia di Sant'Ambrogio Mediolansky a Milano)
The church was built on the site of the ancient Frigidarium of the Thermae Herculianae (&quot;Baths of Hercules&quot;) of Roman Mediolanum. It was erected after 1621, on the projects of Giovanni Pietro Orobono; the portal was designed by Luigi Miradori in 1626-1627. After World War II, targeted demolitions have recreated a small pasture or &quot;Pasquirolo&quot; after which the site was named. After being closed for decades, in 2007 the church has been gtranted for use by Archbishop Dionigi Tettamanzi to the Patriarchate of Moscow.[1][2] Recently restored, it reopened in 2015.

The portal, at the center of the lower end, has a small porch with pediment supported by columns. The interior, with a nave with side chapels, decorated with elegant simplicity with stucco and frescoes (the latter in poor condition, as restored) by the brothers Fiammenghini.
