CONVERSO

San Paolo Converso in Milan is a former Roman Catholic church that now serves as a space for contemporary art. The building was constructed between 1549 and 1580 for the convent of the Angeliche and features typical convent church architecture, with a dividing wall between the nuns' area and the area for laypeople. Inside, you'll find works by the Cremonese masters Giulio, Antonio, and Vincenzo Campi, while the Baroque facade is the work of Giovanni Battista Crespi. After the convent closed in the 19th century, the site served as a warehouse and later as a concert hall. The space also became known as a recording studio for vinyl records. Today, the privately owned building is managed by the Fondazione Converso, which organizes exhibitions, events, and performances there.
