Santa Emerenziana a Tor Fiorenza, Rationalist church in Trieste-Salario district, Rome, Italy
Santa Emerenziana a Tor Fiorenza is a rationalist church located in the Trieste-Salario neighborhood of Rome and features a clear, functional interior layout. Inside, pillars divide the space into three naves, with six side chapels distributed throughout and three entrance doors framed in travertine marble.
Cardinal Francesco Marchetti Selvaggiani commissioned the construction of this parish church, which was completed and consecrated in November 1942. The construction took place during a period when Rome was expanding rapidly and new residential neighborhoods were being developed.
Inside, a large mosaic decorates the apse and shows the triumph of the Church through the artistic vision of Franciscan painter Ugolino from Belluno. This artwork becomes the focal point when you walk through the nave and look toward the altar.
The church is located at Via Lucrino 53 in Rome and is open to the local community throughout the day. Regular mass services take place, and visitors can typically walk in during daytime hours to explore the interior.
Architect Tullio Rossi designed this church following rationalist principles that emphasize clean lines and simplified geometric forms in a sacred building. This approach was unusual for churches of the time and makes the structure a notable example of modern design applied to religious architecture.
