San Patrizio
San Patrizio a Villa Ludovisi
San Patrizio a Villa Ludovisi is a Roman Catholic parish and titular church in Rome.[1] It is one of the national churches of Ireland.
The earliest church on the site was dedicated to Santa Maria in Posterula, but this was demolished (although the frescoes were saved and moved to this one) when this one was built in the Nordic classical style in the early 20th century by Aristide Leonori. Its current Cardinal-Priest is Thomas Collins, the Archbishop of Toronto.[1]
