San Marco Evangelista in Agro Laurentino


San Marco evangelista in Agro Laurentino is a Catholic church in Rome, Italy on the Piazza Giuliani e Dalmati in the Giuliano-Dalmata quarter.
It was erected between 1970 and 1972 to plans of Ennio Canino and Cardinal Vicar Angelo Dell'Acqua consecrated it on 29 May 1972. Two popes have visited it: Pope Paul VI in April 1973 and Pope John Paul II in January 1984.
Inside the Church is a bronze Madonna by Perrotta and a bronze crucifix by U. Montalbano. In the crypt is a series of mosaics depicting the patron saints of the native nations of the Giuliano-Dalmati, i. e., northeastern Adriatic, refugees.
The decree of Cardinal Vicar Francesco Marchetti Selvaggiani, Pastoris vigilantis established the Church as a parish church on 9 March 1950. Since 1973 it has been the seat of the titulus of "San Marco in Agro Laurentino". The Conventual Friars Minor are its custodians.
