The bell tower of the ancient basilica of San Celso in Milan (Italy) houses a marvellous concert of five bells, cast in 1902 by Barigozzi and tuned to the diatonic scale of C major. The ninth-century church is still original and is attached to a sanctuary, built in the 15th century after a miracle in front of hundreds of people in the church during the plague. The two churches are still close to each other and the wonderful one on the left is the most important sanctuary in the city, where new brides go to bring flowers to Our Lady. The sanctuary stands on the site where two famous martyrs were killed. In 1485, a violent plague epidemic broke out; on 30 December of that year, the little church was crowded with about three hundred people when the statue of Our Lady moved the curtain hiding her with her left hand. Shortly after this miraculous episode, the plague suddenly ceased, causing the church to expand and become the sanctuary of St Mary of the Miracles, miracles that still happen today. The miraculous fresco is original from 380, commissioned by Saint Ambrose.
