Commentary


Sous le pontificat de Pie VII, dans la nuit du 15 au 16 juillet 1823, un incendie détruisit la majeure partie de l'édifice, mais l’abside, le transept et le cloître ne furent pas endommagés. Léon XII s’occupa de la reconstruction de l'édifice qui débuta en 1825. Il fut choisi de garder le plan paléochrétien et de construire un nouveau bâtiment.
Le projet de Giuseppe Valadier fut retenu par le Saint-Siège. Mais la Commission pour la reconstruction confia les travaux à Pasquale Belli (it). À sa mort Luigi Poletti lui succéda à la tête des travaux achevés en 1831. Le 5 octobre 1840, le pape Grégoire XVI consacra la nef transversale et y célébra la première messe, à l'autel pontifical
Pie IX consacra l'église entière le 10 décembre 1854..
During the pontificate of Pius VII, on the night of July 15-16, 1823, a fire destroyed most of the building, but the apse, transept, and cloister were not damaged. Leo XII oversaw the reconstruction of the building, which began in 1825. It was decided to maintain the early Christian plan and build a new building. Giuseppe Valadier's project was accepted by the Holy See. However, the Commission for Reconstruction entrusted the work to Pasquale Belli. Upon his death, Luigi Poletti succeeded him at the helm of the work, which was completed in 1831. On October 5, 1840, Pope Gregory XVI consecrated the transverse nave and celebrated the first Mass there. Pius IX consecrated the entire church at the pontifical altar on December 10, 1854.

Historical background


ITALY - PAPAL STATES - PIUS IX (Giovanni Maria Mastai Ferretti)

(06/16/1846-02/7/1878)

Pius IX (1792-1878), elected after a vacancy of only fifteen days, had the longest pontificate of the 19th century. After a happy start, showing in him, if not a liberal, at least an innovator between 1846-1848, the Roman revolution threw him back into conservatism. After the February Revolution in France, unrest spread throughout Europe and even Rome. Faced with the refusal of Pius IX to declare war on Austria, the republic was proclaimed on February 9 at the instigation of Mazzini and Garibaldi. On June 1, an expeditionary force was sent to Rome to restore order. The French seized the city on July 3 and restored Pius IX. He could not prevent Victor Emmanuel II from achieving Italian unity and found himself isolated from 1861. Rome resisted for another nine years before falling into the hands of the King of Italy and becoming the capital in 1870. Pius IX saw the nine last years of his life considering himself a prisoner of Italian power.
