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]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">National churches in Rome</span> Designation of certain churches in Rome

Charitable institutions attached to churches in Rome were founded right through the medieval period and included hospitals, hostels, and others providing assistance to pilgrims to Rome from a certain "nation", which thus became these nations' national churches in Rome. These institutions were generally organized as confraternities and funded through charity and legacies from rich benefactors belonging to that "nation". Often, they were also connected to national scholæ, where the clergymen of that nation were trained. The churches and their riches were a sign of the importance of their nation and of the prelates that supported them. Up to 1870 and Italian unification, these national churches also included churches of the Italian states.
