Protestant Church

 

The German Evangelic Church, which was inaugurated at Christmas of 1899 and completed in 1901, is situated at the crossing between via Reginaldo Giuliani and the beginning of via Tragara. The majolica plaque on the faade reporting the inscription " Deutsche Evangelische Kirsche" in dark blue characters on white ground, was added during the restorations made in 1929. The church was built by Mortiz von Bernus, a German from Frankfurt who being forced to lived in Italy for health grounds, wished a church for the German Evangelic movement to which he dedicated his lifetime. A friend of the industrialist Krupp, Ugo Andreas, a German engeneer owner of the homonymous villa, after called Villa Capricorno, contributed financially to the building of the church.
