Negli anni degli episcopati di Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster (1929-54) e di Giovanni Battista Montini (1954-63), la periferia milanese e i comuni a corona della futura metropoli sono segnati dall’edificazione di numerose chiese, concepite non solo come edifici per il culto e come polarità urbane in grado di qualificare e organizzare interi brani della città in rapida espansione, ma anche come luoghi di aggregazione fra gruppi sociali di recente insediamento, di origine, tradizioni e ceto sociale estremamente diversi.
Un sistema di nuove polarità contro la radicalizzazione delle alterità. Le chiese della periferia milanese durante gli episcopati di Schuster e Montini: nuclei generatori di tessuto urbano e sociale

Abstract
In the years between the two world wars and especially those that coincide with the episcopate of Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster (since 1929), the Milanese suburbs and the municipalities around the future metropolis are marked by the building of numerous churches. From the beginning, they were conceived not only as buildings for worship and as urban polities able to qualify and organize entire areas of the rapidly expanding city, but also as places of aggregation between social groups, often recently established, of extremely different origin, traditions and social class. The rediscovery of the reasons and objectives that guided such an ambitious program – with respect to which the school for the sacred arts "Beato Angelico" of Milan played a fundamental role – represents the obligatory premise for a full understanding of the current value of individual architectures, especially in the case of enhancement or re-use initiatives.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
