Summary[edit]

Description
Italiano: L'obelisco di San Glicerio a Milano. Fu inaugurato come "crocetta" (colonna sormontata da una croce), in onore del vescovo di Milano Glicerio, da San Carlo Borromeo l'11 giugno 1607 nel quartiere del Bottonuto (al posto del quale oggi sorge Piazza Diaz), e trasferito in Via dei Boschetti ai Giardini pubblici (dove si trova ancor oggi) il 1 ottobre 1787 perché "intralciava il traffico". La sua attuale sistemazione (che prevede fra l'altro il coronamento di una stella al posto dell'originaria croce) fu curato dall'architetto Giuseppe Piermarini.
English: Saint Glycerius obelisk in Milan, Italy. It was inaugurated as a "crocetta" (pillar topped by a cross) honouring Saint Glycerius, a bishop of Milan, by Charles Borromeo on June 11 1607. It stood originally in the Bottonuto area (now replaced by Piazza Diaz square), and it was moved to its current location in Via dei Boschetti (near the Public Gardens) on October 1st 1787. For the occasion architect Giuseppe Piermarini took care of the new arrangement, which now sports a bronze star in place of the cross.
