The Chiesa di Santa Rita da Cascia in Campitelli is a deconsecrated church in Rome (Italy), in the rione Sant'Angelo; it is located in Via Montanara, at the crossroad with Via del Teatro Marcello. The church formerly rose on the preexisting ''Chiesa di San Biagio de Mercato'', whose remains were discovered during the dismantling of Santa Rita. == History == The church was built in 1643 by architect Carlo Fontana in place of a former church, built by the family Bucabella in the 11th century, and rose at the base of the staircase of Santa Maria in Aracoeli, on its left side. It was dedicated to Saint Blaise. Pope Alexander VII entrusted the church to the brotherhood of the Holy Thorn of the Cross of Jesus. The dedication to Saint Rita of Cascia was added to the one to Saint Blaise in 1900, the year of her canonization. In 1928, as a consequence of the demolitions in the area to make space to the ''Via del Mare'' (now Via del Teatro di Marcello), the church was dismantled piece by piece and deposited with the aim of rebuilding it in the same place. Nonetheless, in 1940 the church was rebuilt in its present location, as remembered by a commemorative stone on the left side of the building. ' ' The church is now deconsecrated and used for meetings, conferences and concerts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chiesa di Santa Rita da Cascia in Campitelli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
