The church, which originally belonged to a Franciscan monastery, contains Switzerland's most famous Renaissance fresco, which covers the entire wall of the nave. The "Passion and Crucifixion of Christ," created by Bernardino Luini in 1529, is characterized by the great expressiveness and vividness of the individual scenes.

The church of Santa Maria degli Angioli on the promenade of Lugano houses the most famous Renaissance image in Switzerland. The masterpiece by the Italian Bernardino Luini (around 1480 - 1532), a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci, is a fresco painting rich in figures of the Passion and the Crucifixion of Christ. The painting takes up almost the entire wall and is characterized by the great liveliness of the scenery. Over 150 people and numerous horses are shown. A visit to the church can be combined with a tour of the center of Lugano.
