Nostra Signora della Misericordia church

The church features a rectangular plan measuring 14 by 28 meters with reinforced concrete structure, translucent glass panels, and elevated foundation raised two meters above ground level.

Construction began in 1956 and completed in 1958 under architects Angelo Mangiarotti and Bruno Morassutti, commissioned by the Curia Diocesana di Milano and the Comitato Nuove Chiese di Milano.

The building exemplifies modernist sacred architecture through integration of industrial construction techniques, minimal ornamentation, and prefabricated concrete components achieving precise geometric forms throughout the interior space.

Located at Via Conciliazione 22 in Baranzate, the church serves as an active place of worship with guided tours available upon request for visitors interested in architectural innovations.

Originally known as the Glass Church, it functions as a luminous landmark after sundown due to its translucent exterior panels allowing light to pass through the structure.
