San Paolo Converso

San Paolo Converso is a former Roman Catholic church in Milan, region of Lombardy, Italy, now utilized as a contemporary art space.

The church was constructed from 1549-1580 for the convent of the Order of the Angeliche,[1] founded by Countess Ludovica Torelli.

When, in 1552 Pope Paul IV imposed the rule of cloister, Torelli separated from the religious community.

In 1808, following the suppression of the convents in the Napoleonic era, the monastery was closed,[1] and the church subsequently de-consecrated.

The non-profit Fondazione Converso manages the building as a contemporary art space, organizing exhibitions, events and performances.
