History

Annunciazione della Beata Vergine Maria a Via Ardeatina was built in 1985–88,^[6] replacing an old church known as Annunziatella due to its small size.^[7]

On 5 February 1965, the old Annunziatella was made a titular church to be held by a cardinal-deacon, but was never actually given to a cardinal, until the new church was given a titular in 2001.^[8][9]

Cardinal-Protectors

• Mario Francesco Pompedda (2001–2006)^{[10][11][12][13]}
• Domenico Calcagno (2012–present)^[14]
