History
Annunciazione della Beata Vergine Maria a Via Ardeatina was built in 1985–88,{{Cite web|url=https://www.rerumromanarum.com/2017/10/santissima-annunziata-via-ardeatina.html|title=Santissima Annunziata a Via Ardeatina}} replacing an old church known as Annunziatella due to its small size.{{Cite web|url=http://www.romeartlover.it/Vasi59b.htm#SS.+Nunziata|title=Basilica di S. Sebastiano - part two|website=www.romeartlover.it}}
On 5 February 1965, the old Annunziatella was made a titular church to be held by a cardinal-deacon, but was never actually given to a cardinal, until the new church was given a titular in 2001.{{Cite web|url=http://www.gcatholic.org/churches/cardinal/112.htm|title=SS.
