The Archdiocese of Milan (Arcidiocesi di Milano, Latin: Archidioecesis Mediolanensis) is a metropolitan see of the Catholic Church in Italy which covers the areas of Milan, Monza, Lecco and Varese. It has long maintained its own Latin liturgical rite, the Ambrosian rite, which is still used in most of its extension. Among its past archbishops, the better known are Saint Ambrose, Saint Charles Borromeo, and Pope Paul VI. Milan’s Archdiocese is the largest in Europe.
