San Francesco d’Assisi al Fopponino church

The church features an asymmetric hexagonal structure with eight diamond-shaped openings that introduce natural light through the main facade.

Architect Gio Ponti completed this religious building in 1964 on the site of a former cemetery that operated from 1576 to 1895.

The church includes a large altarpiece by Francesco Tabusso titled 'Il Cantico delle Creature' and stained glass windows by Cristoforo De Amicis.

Located at Via Paolo Giovio 41, the church opens daily from 7:15 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM with extended hours on Sundays.

The building incorporates custom-designed elements including chandeliers and specialized door handles manufactured by the Olivari company under Ponti's direction.
