The Church of Saint Pius X was designed by Alberto Ressa and was built from 1956 to 1961. In 1963 the final sequences of the science fiction horror film The Last Man on Earth, directed by Ubaldo Ragona or Sidney Salkow (1964), were filmed inside and outside the church.
The Church of St. Lucia was built in 1938 and designed by the Roman architect Tullio Rossi, author of several churches built in the capital between 1930 and 1960. Important restorations were carried out in the 1990s, with the construction of a new presbytery and the Adoration chapel.
The church of Jesus Divine Master was built between 1966 and 1967 by the architect Carlo Bevilacqua. The church has the title of "Jesus Divine Master in Pineta Sacchetti", instituted by Pope Paul VI in 1969. This title was created because of the presence, within the parish of Jesus Divine Master, of the medical faculty of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart.
The church of Santa Maria delle Grazie al Trionfale was built in 1940-41 according to the plans of the architect Tullio Rossi and the engineer Franco Formari. The neo-Renaissance style façade of the church has a central door surmounted by the coat of arms of Pius XII, and two side doors. Much of the interior furnishings come from the old church of the same name, which was demolished to make way for the Via di Porta Angelica.
