Summary[edit]

Description
Italiano: Milano: lamina in metallo (rame o bronzo) sbalzato, in passato dorata, sulla barocca "crocetta" (monumento devozionale di riferimento per una confraternita religiosa) in Piazza san Nazaro in Brolo, una delle poche superstiti delle molte che punteggiavano Milano in epoca controriformistica. Ipotizzo che la placca in metallo rappresenti san Carlo Borromeo in processione: fu lui a promuovere la diffusione delle "crocette" e delle confraternite ad esse legate, per prmuovre il culto della "Santa Croce". Foto di Giovanni Dall'Orto, 21-2-2007.
English: Milan: embossed metal (copper or bronze) plaque, formerly gilded, on the baroque "crocetta" ("little cross") in Piazza san Nazaro in Brolo square, a devotional monument built by a religious confraternity, one of the very few surviving in Milan out of the many such monuments scattered around Milan during the Counter-Reformation period. I guess the metal plaque portrays saint Charles Borromeo: it was in fact him who encouraged the erection of the "crocette" and the founding of confraternities devoted to the worship of the "Holy Cross". Picture by Giovanni Dall'Orto, February 21 2007.
