Chiesa di San Benedetto

Pius X decided in 1912 to build a church by the gasworks but died before the work began; Benedict XV started it, and the dedication to St Benedict remembers him. A hut was fitted out as a church in 1916, and only piers and roof stood at Benedict XV's death; the work was finished under Pius XI, who erected the parish on 3 June 1926 by the constitution Nostri pastoralis officii. The chapels hold a Sacred Heart mosaic by Armando Baldinelli, a Madonna and Child by Silvio Consadori of 1951, a St Joseph with the adolescent Christ by Luigi Filocamo of 1953, a San Benedetto by Ferruccio Ferrazzi at the high altar and a terracotta Via Crucis by Antonio Giuseppe Santagata. Plaques record John Paul II's visit of 14 February 1988 and the elevation to a cardinalatial deaconry on 28 June 1988.
