San Frumenzio ai Prati Fiscali, Parish church in Nuovo Salario, Rome, Italy.
San Frumenzio ai Prati Fiscali is a parish church in the Nuovo Salario neighborhood of Rome with a semicircular layout divided into three sections with descending tiers. The interior combines fixed seating with an open gathering area, creating a flexible space for different uses.
The building was elevated to parish church status through a decree by Cardinal Vicar Angelo Dell'Acqua in 1968, marking its official establishment. This creation was part of the Church's expansion into the rapidly growing Roman neighborhoods of the postwar period.
Seven Byzantine-style icons in the apse show Christ at the center surrounded by saints and archangels in a classical Deesis arrangement. This layout follows an ancient Christian visual tradition that becomes immediately visible when entering the church.
The church is located at Via Cavriglia 8 in Rome and serves as an important religious center for the neighborhood. Visitors should expect regular services and take note of the location in the Nuovo Salario area when planning a visit.
The Stations of the Cross were created by Franciscan priest Andrea Martini and include four additional stations depicting gospel scenes in fiberglass. This expansion beyond the traditional fourteen stations makes these devotional works a distinctive feature of the church.
