This is a modern parish church in the south of the city, built in 1940 in the Ostiense quarter.


It preserves the memory of an ancient church and hospital, founded in the 6th century, that stood north of the Boca della Verita until it was demolished on Mussolini's instructions to create the Via del Mare.
