The Basilica of Saint John Bosco is a church in the Don Bosco quarter of Rome, situated between the via Tuscolana and Centocelle Airport. It is dedicated to Saint John Bosco.
On 5 February 1965, Pope Paul VI established this church as a deaconry under the name San Giovanni Bosco in Via Tuscolana.[1] He gave it the status of a minor basilica on 20 November 1965.[2]
The church is a parish seat of the Diocese of Rome and has been entrusted to the care of the Salesian Fathers.
