San Benedetto fuori Porta San Paolo was built in 1916–1925.[6] Don Giovanni Gregorucci helped Jews to hide in the church during The Holocaust.[7] The building was damaged during the 1944 Liberation of Rome.[8][9] Ferruccio Ferrazzi painted five tondi and an altarpiece for San Benedetto in 1949.[10]

Pope John Paul II visited on 14 February 1988.[11] On 28 June 1988, it was made a titular church to be held by a cardinal-deacon.[12][13]
