The architect was eitherGuiniforte Solari or his son Pietro Antonio. The church has a nave and two aisles, with square-plan,groin vaulted spans, flanked by two rows of chapels. Instead of the traditional Gothic piers, the naves are separated byCorinthian columns ingranite, the sole indication in the church of the contemporaryhumanist revolution started inFlorence byBrunelleschi and others.

San Pietro in Gessate is home to a series of paintings of theRenaissance in Lombardy. Artists who worked here includeGiovanni Donato Montorfano,Bernardino Butinone andBernardo Zenale. The latter responsible for the impressiveHistories ofSt.Ambrose in the Grifi Chapel. The chapel has a notable tombstone statue of Ambrogio Grifi byBenedetto Briosco. In the early 16th centuryVincenzo Foppa completed for this church his famousDeposition, which later acquired by the Museum ofBerlin and lost duringWorld War II.
