Giovanni Milani

Don Giovanni Milani came to the leadership of the sanctuary the first Sunday of October 1930, at age 37.

After just two years of priesthood in Corbetta, the volcanic Don Milani started works to expand the canonical house and projected the new cloister aided by Manlio Berté, ended in 1935. In this new phase of the museum itself obtained a more appropriate location.

In 1938, the noble Gottardo Frisiani decide to donate to Don Milani the furniture of the room where St. Charles Borromeo stayed when he was a guest of the illustrious family. The room was then rearranged in a large room on the main floor of the rectory and exposed to the public for the first time during the holidays of Perdono in 1938, among other things, at the fourth centenary of the birth of St. Charles. That same year, the room was visited by Cardinal Schuster who made ​​a stop in Corbetta during his trip to Torino for the solemn exposition of the Shroud of Turin.

Don Milani could also formally crown in 1955 the image of Our Lady of Corbetta with the Archbishop Giovanni Battista Montini (later Pope Paul VI) and starting the restoration of the church returned to the original Renaissance frescoes below the baroque paintings.
