In 1916, it was suggested to Vincenzo Vannutelli, Bishop of Ostia, to construct a church to Our Lady, Queen of Peace, in order to pray for an end to the First World War.[6]
The church was built in 1919–28. It has been visited by Pope Paul VI (1968), Pope John Paul II (1980)[7] and Pope Francis (2015).[8][9][10][11]
The church was made a titular church on 5 March 1973 to be held by a cardinal priest.[12][13][14]
