Nostra Signora di Coromoto is a 20th-century parochial church and titular church in southwest Rome, dedicated to Our Lady of Coromoto. ^{[3] [4]}

History

The church was built in 1976–78; contributions from Italian Venezuelans led it to be named for that country's patron, Our Lady of Coromoto. ^{[5] [6]} It is visited by Venezuelans but is not their official national church. ^{[7] [8]} It is square, with a cross-beam roof of laminated wood. The presbytery is illuminated from above by natural light. ^[9]

Pope John Paul II visited in 1981. ^{[10] [11]} On 25 May 1985, it was made a titular church to be held by a cardinal-deacon. ^{[12] [13]} The title is named Nostra Signora di Coromoto e San Giovanni di Dio, because the church was originally to be dedicated to Saint John of God, but that is not the name of the church. ^[14]

Cardinal-protectors

• Rosalio José Castillo Lara (1985–2007); elevated to cardinal-priest pro hac vice in 1996 ^{[15] [16] [17]}
• Fernando Filoni (2012–present); ^[18] elevated to cardinal-bishop pro hac vice in 2018 ^[19]
