The cathedral’s main altar, built in 1711 under Bishop Radicati and enriched in 1915 by Ludovico Pogliaghi, who also designed the bronze doors of Milan Cathedral, is the heart of the most solemn celebrations, including those in honor of Saint Evasio, whose relics are preserved here. Richly decorated with marble and bronze, the altar was further enhanced in 1979 with the addition of a new altar table, made using the front of a 12th-century marble sarcophagus depicting Christ in glory surrounded by the Apostles. Originally intended to hold relics or remains, this ancient artwork now serves as the table for the Eucharistic celebration, linking today’s worship with the cathedral’s medieval heritage.
