Santa Maria Ausiliatrice, Gothic Revival church in Rimini, Italy

Santa Maria Ausiliatrice is a church with Gothic features including pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and buttresses that define its early twentieth-century design. The interior contains four side altars of colored marble and a main altar decorated with artworks from the twentieth century.

The first brick of Santa Maria Ausiliatrice was laid on 17 November 1912 to a design by the Bolognese architect Giuseppe Gualandi, in the then almost uninhabited Trai area. The bishop entrusted the church to the Salesians, who still run it. Wars and the growth of tourism in the 1960s brought a new presbytery and apse, raising capacity to about 600 people.

The church is entrusted to the Salesians, who still run it and the adjoining Maria Ausiliatrice school (nursery and primary) and the large parish recreation centre. The title "Ausiliatrice" refers to Mary as Helper, a devotion central to Salesian identity.

The church stands on Piazza Marvelli, formerly Piazza Tripoli, in the Marina Centro district, near the beach zone of Rimini. It seats about 600 people, and the 1960s presbytery and apse replaced the earlier arrangement after wartime damage. The Salesians still run the church, with the Maria Ausiliatrice school and parish recreation centre beside it.

The church was built for a Trai district that in 1912 still had no residents; the first brick was laid on 17 November of that year. The bishop then entrusted it to the Salesians, who remain in charge and run the adjoining Maria Ausiliatrice school and parish recreation centre.
