Basilica di San Domenico Savio

Oval in plan, with a roof that evokes the idea of an asymmetrical tent, the dome is 20.30 meters high and was conceived as “The tent in which God dwells among men.” The focal center is the altar towards which everything converges: pillars, beams, and roof vaults; from the altar the structural elements of the roof gather almost sucked upward, meeting infinity.\n\nTo the left of the presbytery one can access respectively the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament and the sacristy. To the right of the presbytery is the Baptistery and the entrance connecting the Basilica to the parish offices. In the anteroom near the main entrance are placed two marble plaques commemorating the consecration of the church and its elevation to a Minor Basilica. The bell tower, also constructed in exposed reinforced concrete, with its 34 meters of height, represents a finger pointing to the sky, almost remembering that up there dwells He from whom all things have their beginning and end. The bell concert consists of eight bronze bells.
