The Church of St Lawrence at Lucina ((イタリア語:San Lorenzo in Lucina), (ラテン語:S. Laurentii in Lucina)) is a Roman Catholic parish, titular church, and minor basilica in central Rome, Italy. The church is located in Piazza San Lorenzo in the Rione Colonna, about two blocks behind the Palazzo Montecitorio, just off the Via del Corso. ==History== The church is dedicated to Saint Lawrence, Roman deacon and martyr. The name ''Lucina'' comes from the fourth century Roman matron who gave permission for Christians to build a house of worship. Putatively Pope Marcellus I hid here during persecutions of Maxentius, while Pope Damasus I was elected here in 366. A church here was consecrated by Pope Sixtus III in the year 440 AD. The church was known as ''Titulus Lucinae'', and thus is mentioned in the acts of the 499 synod of Pope Symmachus. It was first reconstructed under Pope Paschal II in the first decades of the 12th century. In 1606, Pope Paul V placed the church under the order of Clerics Regular Minor. The interior was completely transformed by Cosimo Fanzago in the 17th century, converting the lateral aisles of the basilica structure into chapels. The ceiling then was frescoed by the Neapolitan Mometto Greuter. In the 19th century a further restoration of the interior commissioned by Pope Pius I removed the Baroque decorations in the nave and replaced them with frescoes by Roberto Bompiani. Charles Stewart, an officer in the Papal army who died in 1864, is buried within the church. He was the son of John Stewart, Prince Charles Edward Stuart's ("Charles III", the "Young Pretender") 'maestro di casa'. Charles had created John a baronet in 1784. The current Cardinal Priest of the ''Titulus S. Laurentii in Lucina'', established in 684, is Malcolm Ranjith since November 20, 2010. 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「San Lorenzo in Lucina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
