New Mother Church in Gibellina

Ludovico Quaroni – Church and parish complex, Gibellina, Italy, 1972-1987

In 1970 Ludovico Quaroni was commissioned to design the parish church of Gibellina on the top of a slight hill, at the highest point of the town. The project was completed in 1972 along with Luisa Anversa. The geometry of the church of Gibellina represents a novelty, not only in the typological scheme of the building and in its relationship with the place, but also in the language for architectural forms. The various functions are collected and distributed inside a square-based parallelepiped.
