Our Lady of Pompeii Church New York City

Описание: The church was built in 1926, replacing a church where St Frances Xavier Cabrini the first American citizen to be canonized worshiped.

Rectangular in plan, the main front appearing rather lop-sided thanks to the three ever-decreasing-staged tower rising above the SW (actual NE) corner.

The interior is rather fine Italianate with marble columns, frescoes and murals.

Our Lady of Pompeii Church is one of the two major churches in the South Village, both established for the South Village Italian-American community (the other is St. Anthony of Paduas). Built in 1929, the church was built in an Italian-Renaissance style.

It overlooks Father Demo Square, an open space created when 6th Avenue was extended below Carmine Street in the early 20th century.

This triangular plot of land was later named for Father Antonio Demo, an Italian-born priest who served in Our Lady of Pompeii Church for 35 years.
