Gesù Divino Lavoratore, Modern church in Monteverde district, Rome, Italy.
Description
The Gesù Divino Lavoratore is a church with modern design in Rome, marked by clean lines and exposed concrete. The interior is naturally lit by large windows, and the space is laid out openly to welcome the congregation during services.
History
The building was designed in 1955 by architect Raffaello Fagnoni during Italy's post-war reconstruction period. It belongs to a generation of churches that used modern concrete and clear forms to renew sacred architecture.
Culture
The church's name refers to the Divine Worker, reflecting a 1950s idea that faith and everyday labor are connected. This concept still shapes how people in the community see the place and what it means to them.
Practical
The building has multiple entrances and broad aisles that make it easy to move through. Visitors should keep in mind that service times and public access hours may vary.
Did you know?
The bell tower stands separately from the main building, creating a striking visual contrast between its vertical form and the church's horizontal structure. This unusual arrangement creates an unexpected dialogue between the two parts.
