Ss. Vito e Modesto in Macello Martyrum
See Ss. Vito, Modesto e Crescenzia

Ss. Vito, Modesto e CrescenziaAccording to Liber Pontificalis, this deaconry, known as S. Vito in Macello Martyrum, received donations from Pope Leo III (795-816). Its church had been built in the immediate vicinity of Macellum Liviae in the V Roman Region (Augustae). Frutaz says that in the catalogs of Giovanni Diacono and Pietro Mallio, composed in the second half of the 12th Century, the Church of S. Quirici (Ss. Quirico e Giulitta) appears in place of S. Vito and that it is difficult to explain this substitution even if it was only temporary. Later, the title was also called Ss. Vito e Modesto in Macello Martyrum and finally, with its current name. According to Mas Latrie, this deaconry became a title from 1477 until 1480, when it was returned to its older rank. And again, in 1565 when Pope Pius IV (1559-1565) created 23 new cardinals. Pope Sixtus V (1585-1590) listed it among the deaconries in his apostolic constitution Religiosa.
