Parrocchia San Pio X
In the Città Studi district of Milan stands the Parrocchia San Pio X, a church of the mid-twentieth century. Giuseppe Chinigher designed it, and the building went up in 1955 during the city's post-war years. Ceramic tiles cover the simple façade, giving it a clean, modern finish. Inside, you find a single rectangular nave, a spare and uncluttered space for worship.
The church began as a subsidiary of the San Giovanni in Laterano parish, then became independent in 1970. It stood on its own for more than forty years. In 2014 the Pastoral Community San Giovanni il Precursore drew the two back together. For parishioners, the reunion means a shared faith and a wider community.
The church also houses its oldest art: several sixteenth-century paintings, transferred from the mother parish. Four centuries separate those works from the walls around them.
