Sacro Cuore di Maria

Sacro Cuore di Maria, Gothic Revival church in San Salvario, Turin, Italy.

Sacro Cuore di Maria is a Gothic Revival church in Turin's San Salvario district, designed by architect Carlo Ceppi with engineer Stefano Molli and built between 1890 and 1898. Its interior was originally lined with green Tenda stone. The facade and perimeter walls are the only parts that survived the 1943 bombing; the rest was rebuilt faithfully between 1947 and 1955.

The design was drawn up in 1884 by architect Carlo Ceppi with engineer Stefano Molli, and the church was built between 1890 and 1898. It was dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Mary, refuge of sinners, in October 1900 and became a parish in 1910. Bombed on 13 July 1943, it lost its dome, roof, high altar and 6,000-pipe organ; reconstruction faithful to the original design ran from 1947 to 1955 under parish priest Don Bernardino Costamagna.

The church was dedicated in October 1900 to the Sacred Heart of Mary, refuge of sinners, and became a parish in 1910. Its interior was originally lined with green Tenda stone, a detail lost in the 1943 bombing. The name recalls the devotion to the Heart of Mary, refuge of sinners.

The church is accessible for religious services and visitors through an entrance from the main street.It is helpful to check local information beforehand to ensure visiting times align with your schedule.

The 6,000-pipe organ and the dome were both lost when a large-calibre bomb struck on 13 July 1943; only the facade and perimeter walls survived. Rebuilding to the original design took from 1947 to 1955, funded by collections and led by parish priest Don Bernardino Costamagna.
