San Giuseppe al Trionfale is a 20th-century minor basilica and titular church in Rome,[4] located immediately north of the Vatican, dedicated to Saint Joseph.[5][6][7]

History

San Giuseppe in Via Trionfale was built in 1909–12, designed in Neoclassical style by Aristide Leonori.[8][9] It was the project of Luigi Guanella, founder of the Servants of Charity.[10]

On 7 June 1967, it was made a titular church to be held by a cardinal-deacon.[11] In 1970 it was made a minor basilica.

Structure

The basilica has a central nave with side aisles with nine bays. The facade is rendered in peach, with architectural details in white, and dado in limestone.[17][18]

The interior is in a Baroque style, with Corinthian columns in pinkish-grey Baveno granite with gilded capitals. Stained glass windows depict Pope Pius IX, Pope Pius X and Pope Benedict XV. Mosaics in the apse were added in 1964 to designs by Pio and Silvio Eroli, with scenes from the life of Saint Joseph.[19] The spandrel of the triumphal arch shows Christ in majesty with scenes featuring the four patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph, son of Jacob.[20] Silvio Consadori added twelve frescos in 1971.[21]
