The first church at the site was dedicated to St Barnabas, the first bishop of Milan, and was noted at the site by 1263. The church was provided by Francesco I Gonzaga in 1397 to a convent of nuns of the Servite Order. In 1724, the church was rebuilt with a new façade designed by the architect Antonio Galli Bibiena.[1] The adjacent cloister was destroyed in 1900.
