Sant’Ignazio di Loyola church

The church building exhibits clean lines and exposed brick walls, following the Neues Bauen architectural movement that emphasizes rational design principles.

Constructed in 1963 by architect Mario Bacciocchi, the church forms part of a broader project encompassing twenty-two churches built to commemorate Vatican Council II.

The structure reflects a shift in post-war Italian religious architecture, departing from traditional ornate designs toward simplified, functional spaces for worship.

Located at the center of Quartiere Feltre, the church maintains regular mass schedules and provides religious services to residents of northeastern Milan.

The original architectural plans included a bell tower on the left side of the facade, which remained unbuilt, leaving the church with its current symmetrical appearance.
