Interior of Church of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, Chiesa dei Santi Nomi di Gesù e Maria, vault, barroque altarpiece, Via del Corso, Rome, Italy
Gesù e Maria ("Jesus and Mary") is a Baroque church located on Via del Corso in the Rione Campo Marzio of central Rome, Italy. It faces across the street the similarly Baroque facade of San Giacomo in Augusta. It is more correctly called Chiesa dei Santi Nomi di Gesù e Maria ("Church of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary"). The church was made a cardinalate deaconry by Pope Paul VI in 1967 with the name of Santissimi Nomi di Gesù e Maria in Via Lata ("Most Holy Names of Jesus and Mary on Via Lata"). "Via Lata" is the old name of Via del Corso. The church now serves as an apostolate of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest.
