1909 Mario Ceradini
(1865/1940) in Romanesque-Byzantine style for St. Pius X Sarto (1903/14)
To tie the
church to the memory of the people of Rome, the name of the church was taken
from the church of S. Maria Liberatrice of the thirteenth century,
destroyed in the Roman Forum in 1902 to reveal the ruins of S. Maria Antiqua
The mosaic
on the FAÇADE, restored in 1925 after a disastrous detachment, faithfully
reproduces a fresco in S. Maria Antiqua

personal investment of General Pietro Badoglio, head of the Italian Government,
from July 25, 1943 to 8th June, 1944
The
area should have been allocated to public parks, according to the plan of the
architect Giulio Magni, to make the ancient ruins of the PORTICUS AEMILIA
(more likely NAVALIA) more visible
