1913/16 Guglielmo Palombi for Pius X Sarto (1903/14) to
celebrate the sixteenth anniversary of the EDICT OF MILAN in the year 313 AD
with which Constantine (306/337) would have legalized Christianity
Recent
studies have demonstrated with convincing evidence that in fact Christianity
had been legalized two years before, in the year 311 by Galerius (305/311)
The
so-called “edict” of the year 313 would actually be simply a letter written by
Constantine to his co-emperor Licinius (306/324) to confirm the Edict of
Galerius
The
exterior of the church appears in the 1945 film directed by Roberto Rossellini Roma città aperta (Rome
Open City). In the fiction it is the parish of Don Pietro played by Aldo
Fabrizi
The
interior of the church in the movie is that of S.
Maria dell'Orto in Trastevere instead
