Sacro Cuore di Gesù agonizzante a Vitinia

The Sacred Heart of Jesus in Agony church features reinforced concrete walls with parabolic arches defining seven distinct sections throughout its structure.

Cardinal Clemente Micara established the parish in 1955, and Pope Paul VI designated it as a titular church for cardinals in April 1969.

The building incorporates numerous small glass-cement openings in its walls, creating filtered natural light patterns that illuminate the interior worship spaces.

Located at Via Sant'Arcangelo di Romagna 70, the church operates on two independent levels connected by an elliptical opening above the presbytery.

The entrance incorporates a circular ramp system with architectural elements referencing the Crown of Thorns through structural design.
