Years: 1478 - 1478
Donato Bramante had received his architectural training in Urbino and in all likelihood was employed in the workshops of the Ducal Palace constructed from 1462 to 1470 under the direction of Luciano Laurana and Francesco di Giorgio.
The new ruler of Milan, Ludovico Sforza, had summoned Bramante to Milan in 1477.
At thirty-four, he begins work the following year on the enlargement of the church of Santa Maria presso San Satiro.
Bramante’s plan calls for a reorientation of the church.
He turns the old nave into a transept and constructs a new nave at right angles to it.
As the sight is too limited to permit construction of a full chancel, Bramante builds a false choir that appears (in an early example of illusionistic architecture in the Renaissance) to continue the structural system of the nave.
