Sant'Angela Merici church

Sant'Angela Merici church, Catholic church in northern Milan, Italy.

Sant'Angela Merici is a parish church on the northern edge of Milan's Villaggio dei Giornalisti, designed by Mario Bacciocchi and built from 1958 to 1960. Its single nave is flanked by two very low side spaces giving access to parish rooms. The raised presbytery is lit from above and holds a large baldachin also designed by Bacciocchi; a long matroneo runs above the two small chapels on the right, and the exterior facade is clad in klinker brick.

Construction began in 1958 and was completed in 1960 to serve the growing population in the newly developed suburb. The church was part of post-war urban planning efforts to equip new residential areas with religious and social facilities.

The interior reflects post-war design choices and how the space was built to serve a growing suburban community. The simple layout shows the practical approach to worship spaces built during this period of urban expansion.

The facade is clad in klinker brick, not ordinary red brick, and it joins the church to the adjacent parish building. The entrance is on the left side, where the baptistery stands; the Cappella della Trasfigurazione, further along the same side near the presbytery, hosts weekday celebrations and Eucharistic adoration. The parish is entrusted to the Sacramentini fathers.

The parish is named after Saint Angela Merici because Enrico Mattei, the main funder of the church's construction, wanted to commemorate his wife Angela. The facade is clad in klinker, a dense, dark-fired brick, not ordinary red brick.
