The master of Castiglione Olona
Cardinal, patron of great culture, open to all expressions of art, a man of the church with very prestigious international links: this could be, in synthesis, the presentation of Cardinal Branda Castiglioni (1350 – 1443) who left, in the small village of Castiglione Olona, a series of monuments which still represents a considerable attraction for art lovers.
In this village which has retained the old medieval structure, the Cardinal wanted to build a noble palace of exquisite and at the same time severe decor, a church which is inspired by the harmonious forms of Brunelleschi’s architecture, a church and a baptistery containing outstanding frescoes, all under the banner of a renewed artistic culture which had started in |Florence only a few years earlier.
