It is led by the Archbishop of Milan who serves as metropolitan to the dioceses of Bergamo, Brescia, Como, Crema, Cremona, Lodi, Mantova, Pavia, and Vigevano.
The Church in Milan was established in the 1st century as a small diocese. It was elevated to the rank of an archdiocese in the 4th century.
