National churches in Rome

National churches in Rome emerged from charitable institutions that were founded during the Middle Ages and were connected to churches in Rome. They included hospitals, hostels and other aid to pilgrims who came from a certain nation to Rome. These institutions were generally organized as fraternities and funded by the charity and heritage rich donors who belonged to this nation. Often they were also national " scholae " (predecessor of the Roman seminaries ), where the clergy were trained together. The churches and their riches were a sign of the importance of the nation and of the prelates who supported them. By 1870 and the unification of Italy, the Italian city-states also had national churches (now regional churches).

Many of these organizations which lacked a provision in the 19th century, were expropriated by the 1873 law on the suppression of the religious brotherhoods. In the following decades by various agreements and finally the Lateran Pacts many assets of the national churches to the Catholic Church returned.
