Santi Vito, Modesto e Crescenzia, 6th century Catholic church in Rione Esquilino, Rome, Italy

The church displays two different facades: a marble entrance on Via Carlo Alberto and a rustic brick entrance on Via San Vito.

The church was first recorded during Pope Leo III's reign from 795 to 816 and received its cardinal title in 1088 with Leo of Ostia.

The interior contains frescoes of Madonna and child with Saints by Antoniazzo Romano, painted in 1483 for religious devotion.

The church maintains regular mass schedules and stands near the Arch of Gallienus, making it accessible from central Rome locations.

A stone inside the right nave, originally an ancient tombstone, was believed to cure people bitten by rabid dogs during medieval times.
