Santa Gemma Galgani a Monte Sacro

Santa Gemma Galgani a Monte Sacro, Catholic church in Monte Sacro, Rome, Italy.

Santa Gemma Galgani a Monte Sacro is a low church on Via Monte Meta, built from stacked concrete parallelepipeds and cylinders. Its facade carries the dedication D.O.M. in hon. S. Gemmae Galgani A.D. MCMLXXXVIII. On the Viale Adriatico side stands a reinforced-concrete bell tower with three stacked bells, two mosaics and a statue of the saint. The interior has a central plan with two triptychs, one of the Ascension and one of the Birth, Baptism and Resurrection.

The parish was erected on 10 September 1975 by a decree of Cardinal Vicar Ugo Poletti, Paterna sollicitudine. The church itself, designed by Aldo Aloysi, was inaugurated by Poletti on 19 June 1988. Pope John Paul II visited it on 30 January 1994, and on 23 September 2023 it became the seat of the cardinal title of the same name.

The dedication to Saint Gemma Galgani, a 19th-century mystic, is visible in the bell tower on the Viale Adriatico side, where two mosaics and a statue of the saint complete the reinforced-concrete structure. Inside, her image stands alongside two triptychs, one of the Ascension and one of the Birth, Baptism and Resurrection of Jesus.

The church stands at Via Monte Meta 1, at the corner with Viale Adriatico, where the reinforced-concrete bell tower with its three stacked bells faces the avenue. Metro B stops at Conca d'Oro and at Jonio; from either station the church is a short walk through the Monte Sacro streets. The entrance is on Via Monte Meta.

The church's reinforced-concrete bell tower, on the Viale Adriatico side, holds three stacked bells and is completed by two mosaics and a statue of Saint Gemma. The facade inscription reads D.O.M. in hon. S. Gemmae Galgani A.D. MCMLXXXVIII, dating the building to 1988.
