Chiesa di san Vittore e 40 Martiri Viale Lucania 18 Milano
A rare architectural exception in the landscape of the suburbs of Milan.
The church is now being refurbished and it is still widely unknown within the industry context.
The Church is part of the parish complex of Madonna della Medaglia Miracolosa. Born in 1927, San Vittore e Quaranta Martiri takes its name from another church, located in Via Pietro Verri, that has been demolished with land management purposes.
The decadent and baroque facade of the church provides a strong contrast with the surrounding buildings and suburban atmosphere.
But it’s its interiors that are hardly equal to any other opportunity for a fashion and art production.
The building is composed of elegant and sober lines. Two pillars with capitelli corinzi carry the architrave where the ledge leans.
The church has a rectangular area, with an altar and a baroque marble banister.
The vault has been decorated by Colombo di Tradate and the frescoes were painted by painter Albertazzi, inspired by the baroque style.
The church belongs to the community, but that doesn’t interfere with hosting exceptional and unique shows, events that capture the essence of such beautiful building, channeling that into the exhibited art or enhancing the charme of a fashion collection.
The encounter between beauty and suburbs will be the contrast leading to a strong impact and artistic value of any event hosted in the building.
