Here is more info about the Church :

Inside the church there is the crucifix that considered miraculous, it contains a relic of the True Cross. Fire on 1519 completely destroyed the church. Apart from the outer walls, the only item that survived was a 15th century wooden crucifix which is now to be found in the Chapel of the Crucifix. The preservation of this crucifix was considered miraculous, and devotion to it increased enormously in 1522 when an epidemic stopped just when a penitential procession was held with it. Recently Pope Francesco has been on the church and prayed for the safety of the world, for to scare of the infection...

St Marcellus at the Corso, dedicated to Pope Marcellusi s a 16th century conventual and titular church on 4th century foundations, it is located just inset from Via del Corso, in ancient times called via Lata, just near to Piazza Venezia.

The legend of the church's foundation is, like we now, that the pagan emperor Maxentius decided to condemn Pope Marcellus to work as a slave in the city terminus of the department of the Cursus Publicus operating on the Via Flaminia. The city end of this road was the Via Lata, the present Corso, and the so-called catabulum (an unfamiliar Latin word) had very large stables used by lots of horses. The pope had to clean these out with his bare hands, and died as a result of nausea induced by the stink. After Maxentius was overthrown, the city's Christians then converted the stables into a basilica in the pope's memory.

The church was restored by Pope Adrian I (772-95). The relics of Pope Marcellus were brought from San Silvestro a Priscilla by Pope Gregory IV and enshrined here. Parts of the original palaeochristian basilica have been excavated by digging a little network of passages under the church.

Architects Antonio Sangallo the Younger and Carlo Fontana completely rebuilt the church in 1590. In Barock epoch inside the church warked the famous artists such as Antonio Raggi, Francesco Cavallini, Rinaldo Rinaldi, Daniele da Volterra et other.. All the paintings is conserve until the present days.
