A deconsecrated church in the Lavinaio district, built in 1609 by the stablemen's guild.

On Via Lavinaio, in the Pendino district, stands a now deconsecrated church built in 1609 by the guild of stablemen; for this reason it was also called Santa Maria Regina Coeli degli Stallieri.In 1611 the oratory of Sant'Alessio was founded here, later becoming a confraternity, which built its own oratory behind the church. Bombing in the Second World War destroyed part of the complex; it remains a testimony to the life of the neighbourhood's guilds.
