Chiesa parrocchiale di Santa Maria del Buon Consiglio

Chiesa parrocchiale di Santa Maria del Buon Consiglio stands in Milan’s Bovisa district as an example of Lombard Gothic architecture. Spirito Maria Chiappetta designed it, and builders completed it between 1911 and 1917.

Luigi Brambilla completed the red-brick façade with stone mouldings, pointed arches, and pointed-arch windows. Inside, three naves extend beneath ribbed vaults supported by twisted polygonal pillars. A multicoloured marble main altar, finished in 1935, stands beneath a Gothic dome carried by six columns. Chapels dedicated to the Madonna di Caravaggio and Saints Carlo and Luigi add distinct devotional spaces. Cardinal Andrea Carlo Ferrari consecrated the building in 1917, while wartime bombing later brought substantial damage and post-war repairs. Late twentieth-century restoration preserved its structure, and a Tamburini organ arrived during the 1990s. The original bell tower disappeared in the 1930s, leaving the brick façade as the clearest reminder of its changing silhouette.
