The paper takes a general look at the various liturgies that have developed during the past centuries in the West, as well as the Roman rite; then it focuses on the Ambrosian rite. This one is still in use not only in much of the archdiocese of Milan, where the Roman rite is a minority, but also in some parishes of the Italian dioceses of Bergamo, Novara, and in the Swiss diocese of Lugano, where the Roman rite is a majority. After a synthetic description of the phases that characterized the post-conciliar reform of the Milanese Church, the article examines her current liturgical books. The emerging peculiarities allow to appreciate the Ambrosian Rite’s contribution to the pluriform beauty of the catholic liturgy.
