San Matteo in Via Merulana
San Matteo in Via Merulana was a titular church in Rome. It was first established as a titular church in 112 by pope Alexander I, then suppressed in 600 by pope Gregory I. It was revived in 1517 by pope Leo X but the church was crumbling by 1775 and the title was not awarded between 1776 and 1801 when it was finally suppressed and transferred to Santa Maria della Vittoria. It once housed the famed Marian icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, now under the custody of the Redemptorist Order, later supplemented with another Marian image.
