History

Santa Maria Liberatrice a Monte Testaccio was built in 1908 to serve the new suburb at Monte Testaccio, and put in the care of the Salesian Order and the Oblates of St. Frances of Rome.^[6] It took its title and much of its artwork from the old church of Santa Maria Liberatrice in the Forum.^[7]

On 5 February 1965, it was made a titular church to be held by a cardinal-deacon.^[8]
