Santa Maria Immacolata e San Giuseppe Benedetto Labre, Catholic church at Via Taranto and Via Monza intersection, Tuscolano district, Rome, Italy.
Santa Maria Immacolata e San Giuseppe Benedetto Labre is a church in Rome's Tuscolano district, characterized by three naves with galleries and wooden ceilings. Its apse displays mosaics depicting the Crucifixion and the Glory of the Immaculate Mary.
Construction of this church began in 1928 under architect Gino Benigni's direction and was consecrated on October 31, 1931. The building arose during a period of rapid residential development in the Tuscolano district.
The church honors two saints through its name and blends Romanesque style with a bell tower that recalls the Cosmati tradition of Rome. Its angled position at the intersection gives it a distinctive presence in the neighborhood.
The main entrance is reached via a staircase leading to a three-arched portico with supporting columns, topped by a window featuring Christ and angels. Access is straightforward since the church sits at a clearly visible street corner.
The lateral walls display fourteen mosaic panels showing the stations of the Cross, while the choir holds a rare Tamburini organ from 1932 with 22 registers. This instrument ranks among the valuable surviving examples of organ craftsmanship from that era.
