Church of Saint Romanus the Martyr, Rome

Church of Saint Romanus the Martyr, Rome, Modern Catholic church in Pietralata, Rome, Italy

The Church of Saint Romanus the Martyr, designed by architect Igino Pineschi, has a nearly rectangular plan with a single nave. A massive portal frames a stained-glass window and serves as a covered entrance. The facade is flanked by a metal truss bell tower on a reinforced concrete beam above the courtyard gate. Inside, travertine altar, tabernacle and ambo stand before an apse mosaic by Marko Ivan Rupnik and the Centro Aletti.

The parish was erected on 6 February 1973 by a decree of Cardinal Vicar Ugo Poletti, Neminem fugit, with territory taken from the parish of Sant'Atanasio. Until 2004 it was housed in premises on via delle Cave di Pietralata. The church itself was built in 2004 to the design of Igino Pineschi, and since 14 February 2015 it has been a titular church.

The church honors Saint Romanus, whose story as an early Christian martyr connects this modern building to ancient religious tradition. Local worshippers gather here to acknowledge his faith and continue a spiritual practice rooted in centuries past.

The church is located in the Pietralata neighborhood and is accessible during times when religious services and community gatherings take place. Checking ahead about scheduled activities helps visitors plan their visit to experience the church and its community life.

The church has been a titular church since 14 February 2015, held by Ethiopian Cardinal Berhaneyesus Demerew Souraphiel. The title is a formal link between this 2004 building in Pietralata and the Ethiopian Catholic Church.
