Sabaudia. Church of the Santissima Annunziata

The church of the Santissima Annunziata is part of the first nucleus of the founding city of Sabaudia and was inaugurated on 24 February 1935.

His rationalist style is found in the austere and daring forms and in the softness of the baptistery.

The church is a square building 22 meters high, 55 long and 29 wide, clad in white marble and red bricks, with an imposing 47-meter bell tower in white marble at its side.

On the façade, in a protected and set back position, a large mosaic was created by master Ferrazzi where sacred and profane are confused: on one side the Annunciation and on the other Mussolini arranging the grain.

The interior of the church is a unique environment with 6 chapels ending in an apse and large windows. Here is the Royal Chapel donated by Queen Elena of Savoy and which was originally located inside Palazzo Margherita in Rome.

The baptistery is a cylindrical building built on one side of the church (opposite side of the bell tower) all covered with white marble.
