About the Church of the Madonna della Difesa
Madonna della Difesa is a Catholic church in the Little Italy neighborhood of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Italian immigrants to Montreal, particularly settlers from Molise, built the church to mark the apparition of the Madonna at La Difesa in Casacalenda, Molise. Roch Montbriant and the Italo-Canadian artist Guido Nincheri designed it. Romanesque in style, it follows a Greek-cross plan, and it was inaugurated in 1919.
Its large cupola and brick façade are what it is famous for, together with the frescos of Guido Nincheri, called “the Michelangelo of Montreal.” One well-known fresco, painted before World War II, shows Benito Mussolini on horseback, recalling when he signed the Lateran Accords. A statue outside the church honors “victims of all wars.”
Canada designated the church a National Historic Site in 2002. It stands at 6800 Henri-Julien Avenue, on the corner with Dante Street, in Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie borough, where it serves Canada's oldest Italian community. Jean-Talon and Beaubien are the metro stations given for reaching it.
