San Benedetto fuori Porta San Paolo is a 20th-century parochial church and titular church on the southern edge of Rome, dedicated to Saint Benedict of Nursia.[3][4][5]
History[edit]
San Benedetto fuori Porta San Paolo was built in 1916–1925.[6] Don Giovanni Gregorucci helped Jews to hide in the church during The Holocaust.[7] The building was damaged during the 1944 Liberation of Rome.[8][9] Ferruccio Ferrazzi painted five tondi and an altarpiece for San Benedetto in 1949.[10]
Pope John Paul II visited on 14 February 1988.[11] On 28 June 1988, it was made a titular church to be held by a cardinal-deacon.[12][13]
