The famous "Madunina" atop the main spire of the cathedral,
a baroque gilded bronze artwork.







During the subsequent Spanish domination, the new church proved usable, even though the interior remained
largely unfinished, and some bays of the nave and the transepts were still missing. In 1552 Giacomo Antegnati
was commissioned to build a large organ for the north side of the choir, and Giuseppe Meda provided four
of the sixteen pales which were to decorate the altar area.

(The program was completed by Federico Borromeo).





In 1562 Marco d' Lopez's St. Bartholomew and the famous Trivulzio candelabra (12th century) were added.
