San Marone is a church in Rome located in the Ludovisi rione and dedicated to Saint Maron, a 5th-century Syrian hermit who founded the Maronite Church. It is the national church of the Lebanese Maronite community in the city, with services following the Antiochian Rite in Arabic. The church was built in 1890 based on a design by Andrea Busiri Vici, to serve the neighbouring maronite monastery that, in 1936, was turned into an hotel.
