Convento di Santa Maria degli Angeli

Convento di Santa Maria degli Angeli, Gothic monastery and church in Busseto, Italy.

Convento di Santa Maria degli Angeli is a monastery and church complex in Busseto built in the Gothic style, featuring stone walls and pointed arches characteristic of the period. The compound houses both religious and residential spaces arranged as an integrated architectural whole.

The church was built from 1470 with funding from brothers Gian Lodovico and Pallavicino Pallavicini, following the will of their father, Marquis Rolando il Magnifico, who died in 1457. The Franciscan convent was begun in 1472 and finished in 1474; friars entered in 1475 and held a provincial chapter there in 1480. The convent was suppressed in 1810 and reopened in 1816.

The church is a sussidiaria of the parish of San Bartolomeo Apostolo and belongs to the vicariate of Bassa Parmense. Giuseppe Verdi, a regular attendee from childhood, performed here in an organ concert on 6 January 1836; the instrument was sold to the church of Trevozzo in 1912. The convent was suppressed in 1810 and reopened in 1816.

The church stands at Via Provesi 39, next to the Renaissance Villa Pallavicino, and is a subsidiary of the parish of San Bartolomeo Apostolo. The convent was suppressed in 1810 and reopened in 1816, so access to the cloistered areas depends on the friars. Look for the small sail-vaulted portico on the right of the facade, which covers the convent entrance.

In the church stands a rocaille niche holding Guido Mazzoni's terracotta group of the Lamentation over the Dead Christ, made in 1476–77. The complex was suppressed in 1810 and reopened in 1816. Verdi, a regular churchgoer from childhood, gave a successful organ concert here on 6 January 1836; the instrument was sold to the church of Trevozzo in 1912.
