Description

In the Giustiniana area, next to the Casale 'La Giustiniana', on which the Boncompagni coat of arms is affixed, stood the small Church of the Immaculate Conception.

At one time, when the popes left or returned to Rome, they would stop there to change their robes. The Casale Buonricovero, with an incorporated medieval turret, and the Ospedaletto Giustiniani, which also preserves a watchtower, recall, in their place names, the presence in this area of the Ospedale S. Angelo founded in the Middle Ages by Francesco dei Tartari.

La Giustiniana was an ancient chaplaincy: the festive chaplain officiated in the little church of the Immaculate Conception. At the end of the 19th century the religious service was combined with that of La Storta, then, in 1908, entrusted to the Pia Opera 'Agro Romano' and thirty years later to the Sons of Don Orione, who held it until 1954. When the Cathedral of La Storta was erected as a Parish, La Giustiniana found itself part of that territory, but on 19 March 1955 it was elevated to an autonomous curate Vicariate, and in October it was itself elevated to a Parish under the title of the Immaculate Conception (legally recognised on 31 August 1956). In the years that followed, the present parish church was built, equipped with a rectory house and various rooms for the conduct of various parish activities.
