Nostra Signora del Sacro Cuore di Gesù
In Italy, Nostra Signora del Sacro Cuore di Gesù forms an urban block where a church, parish house, oratory, and nursery school stand together. The arrangement links worship, pastoral activity, education, and neighbourhood life within one architectural complex.
Built in 1935, the complex brought religious worship and local community life into the same planned setting. An air raid on 18 November 1942 collapsed roof trusses and small interior walls inside the church. Those light damages received prompt repairs, while bombs and incendiary devices struck rooms used by priests. Restored surfaces and patched joins still mark how wartime damage was absorbed into the building.
The parish hosts liturgies, pastoral activities, an oratory, and the attached nursery school. Don Giuliano Naso serves as parish priest, while the school remains part of the same block. From outside, the order of the volumes shows how one place combines worship, youth, and early education.
