The Shrine of Our Lady of Divine Love on Via Ardeatina in Rome has no named architect. The old church was built in 1745, and the painting returned there on April 19, 1745. Cardinal Carlo Rezzonico consecrated the altar on May 31, 1750. Pope John Paul II inaugurated the new church on July 4, 1999. The article gives no style or materials.
A medieval votive fresco of the Madonna and Child is enshrined above the altar, and modern apse mosaics show Christ and the 1740 miracle. The crypt holds the tomb of Blessed Luigi and Maria Corsini Beltrame Quattrocchi. A staircase leads down to the gate tower where the miracle occurred. The property belonged to the Savelli-Orsini family in 1295.
It is a parish church and pilgrimage site, a titular church since 2020, and one of the Seven Pilgrim Churches since 2000. The Diocese of Rome administers it. The article gives no hours.
