Santi Angeli Custodi church, Modern Catholic church in Milan, Italy.
Santi Angeli Custodi is a modern Catholic church in Milan designed with clean lines and expansive interior spaces following Neues Bauen principles. The building avoids decorative embellishment in favor of functional, geometric forms that make the interior feel open and welcoming.
The church was designed in 1965 by architects Carlo Bassi and Goffredo Boschetti as part of a post-war effort to build new religious spaces across Milan. It emerged during a period of rapid urban growth when expanding neighborhoods required modern sacred buildings that could serve developing parishes.
The church follows the Ambrosian Rite, a distinct liturgical tradition specific to the Archdiocese of Milan and its surrounding territories.
The building sits in a residential neighborhood and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should be aware that access may be limited during services and appropriate attire is expected.
The building was part of a broad program to construct dozens of churches across Milan during the 1960s, a project few people know about today. This initiative made the city a laboratory for modern religious architecture in the post-war period.
