St. GASPAR DEL BUFALO

S. GASPARE DEL BUFALO
1975/79 Pier Luigi Nervi (1891/1979) and his son Antonio Nervi (1925/79) with Mario Desideri and Francesco Vacchini
Nervi wanted to create a spectacular, huge tent in masonry
The church was consecrated in 1981
Decorative stained-glass windows by Luciano Vinardi
“Towards the end of his career, Pier Luigi Nervi could appear almost as a tutelary deity of Italian architecture, the interpreter of a way of building that evoked a comparison with an ancient, almost timeless tradition” (Filippo De Pieri - Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani Treccani)
