Santa Maria Annunciata in Chiesa Rossa

Santa Maria Annunciata in Chiesa Rossa is a parish church in Milan built in a modern style. The interior features a Latin cross layout with a central nave covered by a barrel vault that extends toward the apse.

The building was constructed starting with architect Franco Della Porta and completed in 1932 under Giovanni Muzio's direction. Cardinal Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster consecrated the church that same year.

The church is named after the Annunciation and represents a modern approach to sacred space design. Visitors can observe how contemporary architecture merges with religious purpose.

The church is open during worship services and community events hosted by the parish. Visitors should be aware that services take place at certain times when the space is reserved for worship.

American artist Dan Flavin created a light installation using fluorescent tubes throughout the interior in different colors. Green and blue lights illuminate the nave, red light fills the transept, and yellow light the apse.
