San Pio X alla Balduina is a 20th-century parochial church and titular church in Rome, dedicated to Pope Pius X. [2] [3] [4]
The church was built in 1957–61. [1] Pope Paul VI visited on 16 February 1964, and Pope John Paul II visited on 31 January 1993.
San Pio X was a filming site for The Last Man on Earth (1964); it was used for the climactic scene where Dr. Morgan (Vincent Price) is cornered by human-vampire hybrids and murdered on the altar of the church. [5] [6] [7]
On 29 April 1969, it was made a titular church to be held by a cardinal-priest. [8]
The church is modernist in style, with a side chapel devoted to Padre Pio, with a painting of him by Ulisse Sartini. The main altar features a bronze crucifix by Publio Morbiducci, while the pipe organ (added in 1969, and so not seen in The Last Man on Earth) was made by the Tamburini firm. [7]
Scipione Rebiba was an Italian prelate of the Catholic Church, a protégé of Gian Pietro Carafa, who became Pope Paul IV. He held a variety of positions in the Church hierarchy, including some of the most senior. He introduced the Inquisition to Naples in the 1550s and became a cardinal in 1555. He is mostly known today for having been the earliest bishop to whom most Roman Catholic bishops can trace their apostolic succession, as it is unknown who consecrated Rebiba.
