Santa Maria in Grottapinta, Baroque church in Parione district, Rome, Italy.

Santa Maria in Grottapinta stands on the foundations of Pompey's Theater corridor, featuring a nineteenth-century facade with Ionic capitals and a small bell tower.

The church received affiliation with the Basilica of San Lorenzo through a papal bull issued by Pope Urban III in 1186.

The interior contains three altars, including one with a Madonna effigy, one with a crucifix by Giovanni Antonio Valtellina, and another with Saint John Baptist by Francesco Alessandrini.

The building at Via di Grotta Pinta 21 currently functions as an exhibition and conference venue in the historic center of Rome.

The name Grottapinta potentially originates from either painted decorations or the Roman practice of referring to ancient ruins as grottoes.
