Sant’Angelo church, Catholic church in Rozzano, Italy.
Sant'Angelo church is a building in Rozzano with a rectangular layout, approximately 26 meters (85 feet) wide and 35 meters (115 feet) deep, featuring angular walls and carefully positioned openings. The interior space is defined by these windows, which create varying patterns of light throughout the day.
The parish of Sant'Angelo was created in 1967 by a decree of Archbishop Cardinal Colombo, taking territory from the parishes of Sant'Ambrogio in Rozzano and San Giorgio in Pontesesto. The church itself, designed by Mario Asnago, Claudio Vender and Mario Vender, was begun in 1971 and finished the following year, serving the new IACP housing district built in the late 1960s.
Between 2002 and 2008 Valeriano Dalzini frescoed the rooms of the parish house; in the same years he painted the background of the secondary altar inside the church and donated the holy water stoup he had made himself, which is still there. The church is discussed in Cecilia De Carli's book "Le nuove chiese della diocesi di Milano".
The building is located at Via Don Angelo Lonni 5 and is accessible during religious services. You can reach the parish office to confirm opening times and information about special occasions or events.
The structural beams were deliberately designed to work together with the window openings to create a dynamic effect of light movement. This reveals how the architects used materials and windows as a design element to visually enliven the space.
