San Giuseppe Moscati church, Catholic church in Cinecittà Est, Rome, Italy
San Giuseppe Moscati is a Catholic church on via Libero Leonardi in Cinecittà Est, eastern Rome, built at the end of the 1980s to a design by architect Eugenio Abruzzini. Its pale beige concrete facade rises to a triangular gable, filled with a broad fan-shaped window of radiating panes and, near the apex, a smaller triangular window with a blue-tinted arched pane. A flat canopy shelters the recessed dark entrance, and a plain cross stands to the left of the gable.
The parish was established on 1 September 1988 by vicar cardinal Ugo Poletti with the decree "A tutti è nota". The church itself was built at the end of the 1980s to a design by architect Eugenio Abruzzini and opened to the public in 1991. Pope John Paul II solemnly consecrated it during his visit on 21 February 1993.
The dedication honours Giuseppe Moscati, a physician from Benevento (1880–1927) canonised in 1987. The parish itself was created on 1 September 1988 by vicar cardinal Ugo Poletti with the decree "A tutti è nota", so the name was fixed before the building existed. Pope John Paul II consecrated the church during his visit on 21 February 1993.
The church stands on Via Libero Leonardi in Cinecittà Est, in the eastern outskirts of Rome. The entrance sits recessed beneath a flat canopy below the gabled facade, and a plain cross stands to the left of the building. The parish was set up on 1 September 1988, before the church itself opened.
The church is in Cinecittà Est, on Via Libero Leonardi, not Monte Sacro Alto. It was designed by architect Eugenio Abruzzini and built in the late 1980s; the parish itself was created on 1 September 1988 by Cardinal Vicar Ugo Poletti with the decree "A tutti è nota".
