Sant'Eusebio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sant'Eusebio is a basilica church in Rome, devoted to Saint Eusebius of Vercelli, a 4th century martyr, and built in the Monti rione.
The church is first mentioned in 474, by an inscription in the catacombs of Saints Marcellino e Pietro ad duas Lauros, and recorded as the Titulus Eusebii in the acts of the 499 synod. It was consecrated "in honorem beatorum Eusebii et Vincentii" by Pope Gregory IX, after the restoration of 1238. The Romanesque style, dating back to this restoration, survived to the restorations of the 17th, 18th, and 20th centuries.
The Titulus S. Eusebii is vacant as of February 2006. The last Cardinal Priest was Franz Cardinal König, who died in 2004.
