Santissimo Nome di Maria in Via Latina

Santissimo Nome di Maria a Via Latina is a modern parish and titular church at Via Centirupe 18/22 in the Appio Latino quarter, just to the east of the Parco della Caffarella in Rome, Italy.

The parish is administered by the Marianists whose General Curia (world headquarters) is based here; Gaudencio Borbon Rosales is the Cardinal-Priest.

At the side angles of the square are two semi-circular chapels, one dedicated to St Anthony of Padua and the other to Our Lady of the Pillar (a Spanish devotion).

The vast single space houses abstract stained glass in the horizontal and vertical window strips, the colours of which are dominated by azure blue.

Above this is the main altar wall, which has an upward and outward sweep of raw concrete bearing a figure of Christ crucified without a cross.
