San Giovanni Bono church, Modern church in Quartiere Sant'Ambrogio, Milan, Italy.
San Giovanni Bono is a modern church in Milan featuring a striking triangular concrete facade pierced by colored windows of varying sizes. The interior consists of a rectangular nave with a central pillar separating a weekday chapel and a hexagonal baptistery.
Architect Arrigo Arrighetti designed this structure which opened in 1968 during a period of architectural renewal in post-war Italy. Its construction reflected the shift toward modern approaches in religious building design.
The interior space follows a classroom-shaped diamond configuration with a hexagonal baptistery, reflecting changes in Catholic worship practices of the 1960s.
The building is straightforward to navigate with clearly defined areas for different liturgical functions. Natural light enters through a skylight, making orientation and movement through the interior intuitive.
The exposed concrete exterior displays bold geometric patterns created through Brutalist construction combined with modern linear forms. This sculptural approach makes the building a notable example of geometric experimentation from the 1960s.
