Santa Maria Nascente Church, Catholic church in Paderno Dugnano, Italy.

Santa Maria Nascente is the parish church of Paderno, a frazione of Paderno Dugnano. Its facade has two registers: a lower order with pilasters, two side portals and a four-column portico bearing the inscription S. MARIAE NASCENTI DICATUM, and an upper order crowned by a triangular pediment with a rose window. The interior has three naves in five bays on reinforced-concrete pillars, with chapels of the Madonna and the Crucifix at the transept ends.

A church dedicated to Santa Maria in Paderno is first cited at the end of the 13th century in Goffredo da Bussero's Liber Notitiae Sanctorum Mediolani, as a subsidiary of the pieve of Desio. In 1450 Francesco Omato donated land for a new building, and in 1617 works began on designs by Paolo de Porri and Antonio Tiello. The present parish church, designed by Alfonso Orombelli, was begun in 1929 and consecrated in 1934 by Archbishop Ildefonso Schuster; the bell tower was erected in 1939 and the facade completed in 1940 under Ugo Zanchetta.

The church is the parish seat of Paderno, in the Archdiocese of Milan, and its patronal feast is the Nativity of Mary. The 1949 fresco on the facade, by Aldo Galli, shows the Immaculate Virgin between Saints Jerome and Bernard, above the main portal inscribed S. MARIAE NASCENTI DICATUM.

The church is easily accessible on Via Roma for visitors interested in viewing the interior and its artworks. It is best to check opening times before visiting, as the space may be reserved for services or special events.

The 1450 land donated by the local lord Francesco Omato placed the church entrance toward the Seveso river and the apse toward the road, the reverse of the usual orientation. A 1567 inspection by Leonetto Clivone found a bell tower and a cemetery around the building but no baptismal font.
