San Michele Arcangelo a Pietralata is a 20th-century parochial church and titular church in eastern Rome, dedicated to Michael the Archangel.[3][4]
History[edit]
San Michele Arcangelo a Pietralata was built in 1937–48; its construction was interrupted by the Second World War. It is built in red-orange brick, with the arms of Pope Pius XII displayed on the facade.[5][6]
On 5 February 1965, it was made a titular church to be held by a cardinal-deacon.[7]
In 1991 it was visited by Pope John Paul II.[8] In 2015, the church was visited by Pope Francis.[9][10] The visit attracted attention when the Pope also visited a refugee encampment 300 m (330 yd) away from the church.[11]
