The rich ceiling murals here were painted by an Italian who was flown over to do the work. The church, built in 1925, is still a hub for Little Italy activity and is among San Diego’s best pieces of religious art. Across the street in Amici Park, locals play bocce, an Italian form of outdoor bowling.
