San Lorenzo in Damaso (Saint Lawrence in the House of Damasus) is a Basilica Church In Rome , one of several dedicated to the Roman deacon and martyr Saint Lawrence . Known since antiquity (synod of Pope Symmachus , 499 ) as ''Titulus Damasi'', according to tradition San Lorenzo in Damaso was built by Pope Damasus I in his own house, in the 380s . Donato Bramante rebuilt the church in the 15th century, by order of Cardinal Raffaele Riario , within the restoration works of the close by Palazzo Della Cancelleria . The last restoration was necessary after a fire that damaged the basilica in 1944 . The Cardinal Priest of the ''Titulus S. Laurentii in Damaso'' is Antonio Maria Cardinal Ruoco Varela , Archbishop of Madrid . REFERENCES
