History

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]
