Santi Pietro e Paolo a Via Ostiense

It is a modern building at Piazzale dei Santi Pietro e Paolo 8 in EUR (Esposizione Universale Roma).

It is at the west end of the Viale Europa, the last two blocks of which is a monumental approach reserved for pedestrians and paved with polychrome marble.

The church was planned for a high point at the west end of the site, and was entrusted to a committee of architects: Arnaldo Foschini [it], Alfredo Energici, Vittorio Grassi [it], Nello Ena, Tullio Rossi [it] and Costantino Vetriani.

The edifice is a cube in brown brick with stone trim, and with four gigantic pylons attached to each face forming the Greek cross.

The entrance is in the eastern pylon, and in the enormous rectangular recess above the doors is a relief of the resurrected Christ with the apostles.
