Santa Maria Degli Angeli is an unassuming and non-descript 15th century church at the far end of the main shopping street, Via Nassa, in Lugano, Switzerland. Inside, the church is transformed with spectacular frescos by Bernardino Luini. The largest and most popular fresco shows seven episodes of the Passion and Crucifixion of Christ and evokes the style of Leonardo da Vinci. The former convent, which housed a Franciscan order of nuns until the mid-19th century, also contains two other frescos by Luini:  Madonna with the Infant Jesus, and the Last Supper.
