San Salvatore in Lauro
Rome, Italy
San Salvatore in Lauro is a Catholic church in central Rome, Italy. It is located on a piazza of the same name in the rione Ponte. It stands on Via Vecchiarelli, just south of the Lungotevere Tor di Nona and north of via dei Coronari. It is the "national church" of the marchigiani, the inhabitants of the Marche region of Italy (the population of each of Italy's regions was counted as a "nation" before Italian unification). The protector of this titulus is currently Cardinal-Priest Angelo Comastri, from 2007 a Cardinal-Deacon but after ten years promoted, as is customary, to the rank of cardinal-priest, on 19 May 2018. The Cardinal served previously, in 1996–2005, as |Archbishop-Prelate of Loreto.
