Santa Maria degli Angeli, Renaissance church in Parma, Italy.

Santa Maria degli Angeli features a cupola with frescoes depicting the Assumption of Mary alongside biblical figures painted by Giovanni Battista Tinti.

The church construction started in 1650 under architect Giovanni Francesco Testa, and in 1686 Duke Ranuccio II Farnese established a monastery of Capuchin Clare nuns.

The main altarpiece displays a Pieta by Venetian artist Sebastiano Ricci, while Alessandro and Pier Antonio Bernabei completed the wall paintings in the nave.

Located at Strada Farini 73 in Parma, the church maintains regular services and offers guided tours explaining its architectural and historical elements.

The structure originated from an oratory established for the veneration of an icon painted on a wall near Porta Nuova before becoming a significant church.
