San Giuda Taddeo Apostolo, Catholic church in Appio-Latino district, Rome, Italy.
San Giuda Taddeo Apostolo is a church in the Appio-Latino district of Rome featuring modern architectural design created by Giuseppe Forti and Roberto Spaccasassi. The building displays contemporary design elements and sits in a densely populated residential area on the city's south side.
The parish of San Giuda Taddeo was erected on 18 May 1960 by Cardinal Vicar Clemente Micara and entrusted to the diocesan clergy of Rome. The present church was built in 1994-1996 to designs by architects Giuseppe Forti and Roberto Spaccasassi. On 31 October 2012 the parish changed its name to San Giuda Taddeo Apostolo, and on 28 November 2020 Pope Francis made it a cardinal title, first held by Cornelius Sim.
The church displays artistic works by Oliviero Rainaldi, including mosaics and bas-reliefs depicting scenes from the Book of Revelation and the Last Supper. These pieces shape the interior and tell biblical stories through color and form.
The church is located at Via Amedeo Crivellucci 3 in southern Rome and is accessible by public transportation. For information about masses and visiting hours, it is best to contact the parish directly.
The interior houses a 1950 Zarantonello pipe organ installed in 2016 that produces a warm, classical sound. A notable statue depicts Saint Jude Thaddeus holding a cloth bearing the face of Jesus.
