San Gregorio VII, church on the Via del Cottolengo (Via Gregorio VII), Rome. It was built by Mario Paniconi and Giulio Pediconi 1960-1, to serve a parish erected by Pope Pius XII in 1952. Its roof is held by 10 concrete piers, and is structurally independent of the walls, which end before they reach the roof (the empty space between them being filled with glass). It is a parish church, served by Franciscans - in the crypt is a depiction of the Life of St Francis in an unusual stone inlay technique.
