    A first church dedicated to the Madonna delle Grazie was present on the left bank of the Naviglio Grande already in the 16th century: in the year 1556, in fact, a chapel was built to house an image of the Madonna considered miraculous.
    The original chapel was later demolished and a larger baroque style church was built in its place: this was devastated by fire in 1719 and later restored. In 1849 it was elevated to the rank of parish.

      At the end of the nineteenth century, wanting to demolish the old church, now too small for the growing community, and replace it with a new larger one, the Milanese architect Gaetano Moretti presented his project; this included a three-nave Art Nouveau church, with a high bell tower with several orders and surmounted by a pyramidal spire and a pronaos on the main facade. The definitive project, however, was that of the Milanese architect Cesare Nava, from 1900.

        The construction of the new church began the following year, in 1901, starting from the apse and the cross. In 1908, the last remaining part of the baroque church, i.e. the first spans of the nave, was demolished and, in the following year, the new church was finished, although the facade remained unfinished. The temple was consecrated on 1 May 1909 by the Cardinal Archbishop of Milan Andrea Carlo Ferrari.
        Between 1988 and 1996, the new polychrome windows were created; in 2003 the restoration work on the bell tower, the lantern and the internal and external roofing was completed, while in 2009 the restoration of the apse was completed.
