Relics of Saint Ambrose next to relics of Saints Gervasius and Protasius in the underground crypt of the Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio in Milan, Lombardy, Italy. Saints Ambrose is displayed dressed white pontifical robes while Christian martyrs Saints Gervasius and Protasius (one of them isn't visible in the picture) are displayed dressed white and gold surplices, red dalmatics and golden crowns with palm leaves as a symbol of martyrdom. The silver urn was created by Giovanni Lomazzi in 1897 after design by Ippoliti Marchetti.
