Sacro Cuore di Cristo Re is a Roman Catholic church (minor basilica) in Rome, designed between the 1920s and 1930s by Marcello Piacentini. == History == The idea for a new church in the new district of Della Vittoria (literally ''quartier of Victory'', named for the victory in World War I) came from Ottavio Gasparri, member of the Sacred Heart of Jesus religious institute. At first the church was to be named Tempio della Pace,〔 ''Roma - Guide Rosse d'Italia'', Touring Editore, 1999, page 723〕 to remember and honour the fallen of World War I. Construction began in May 1920.〔1924, according to ''Roma - Guide Rosse d'Italia'', Touring Editore, 1999, page 723〕 The original design proposed by Marcello Piacentini was inspired by the churches built in Rome in the 16th century. Construction halted with the death of Ottavio Gasparri, in 1929. In the next two years Piacentini changed radically the project, being inspired by the emerging Rationalist movement, and the Sacro Cuore di Gesù marked the turning point of the sacred architecture in Rome. The construction started again in 1931 and the church was inaugurated in 1934. The church became a parish church under Pope Pius XI on 31 October 1926 with the apostolic constitution ''Regis pacifici''. On 5 February 1965 was declared titular church by Pope Paul VI with the apostolic constitution ''Sacrum Cardinalium Collegium''. Later that year, with the motu proprio ''Recentioris architecturae'' the church became a minor basilica. 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「Sacro Cuore di Cristo Re」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
