Fotografia: Archivio Aldo Bernardis


The church building stands as a prime example of the balance between tradition and modernity, offering architects and professionals in the field a model of innovation. The structure employs a framed system, combining strength and flexibility, which creates a welcoming and well-defined interior space. The slender reinforced concrete trusses rise upward, resting on a beam that traces the entire interior perimeter of the church. This supporting structure is held up by a series of columns, creating a harmonious visual rhythm while providing stability.

Exposed concrete, though a bold and modern choice, is tempered by the traditional terracotta flooring, adding warmth to the space. The white interior walls enhance natural light, creating a bright and serene atmosphere that invites contemplation and spiritual reflection.

What makes the interior truly special is its ability to merge verticality with warmth. Despite the imposing structure, the space feels "pleasantly Romanesque," recalling the simplicity and balance of medieval churches. This combination of tradition and modernity makes the building an example worth studying for those involved in sacred architecture and beyond.
