Chiesa del Santissimo Redentore

Chiesa del Santissimo Redentore stands near Corso Buenos Aires in Milan, with a red-brick façade and white stone details. Its neo-Romanesque design revives medieval Romanesque forms. Three portals open beneath mosaic lunettes showing Jesus Pantocrator and Agnus Dei, giving the entrance a strongly symbolic character. The building’s warm brickwork and pale ornament create a clear presence among Milan’s urban architecture.

A small chapel dedicated to the Madonna di Loreto occupied this site in the late sixteenth century. Luigi Macchi directed construction from 1898 until completion in 1900. Cardinal Andrea Carlo Ferrari consecrated the church that year, dedicating it to Jesus the Redeemer during the Jubilee of Redemption. Inside, arches divide three naves around polychrome pillars, while frescoes by Luigi and Carlo Morgari enrich the Latin-cross layout. A chapel preserves a seventeenth-century polychrome wooden Madonna and Child, and a restored pipe organ built in 1914 remains another striking feature.
