TheBasilica of San Camillo de Lellis (Italian:Basilica di San Camillo de Lellis) is achurch on Via Sallustiana,Rome, Italy. It is dedicated to SaintCamillus de Lellis (1550–1614).
The church was built underPope Pius X, with construction (under the architect Tullio Passarelli) commencing in 1906[1] and the first stone being laid by CardinalAntonio Agliardi.
