San Marcello al Corso (Church

San Marcello al Corso is an ancient titular and conventual church in Rome, Italy. It has been served by friars of the Servite Order since c. 1375 and is the headquarters of their General Curia. The cardinal-protector of the church is normally of the order of cardinal priests, currently Giuseppe Betori. There has been a church dedicated to Pope Marcellus I (d. AD 309) on the site since at least the year 418 when Pope Boniface I was reportedly crowned there. It was rebuilt in its present form in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It is located near the Piazza Venezia on the Via del Corso, in ancient times called via Lata, which now connects Piazza Venezia to Piazza del Popolo and stands diagonal from the church of Santa Maria in Via Lata and two doors from the Oratory of Santissimo Crocifisso.
