The sign reads POMPEII SQUARE. Many people have driven past this tiny strip of green space while exiting 794 on their way to Summerfest or the Milwaukee Art Museum. Many have wondered what that sign means.
That small green space was actually where the first and only Italian church stood in the City of Milwaukee, THE BLESSED VIRGIN OF POMPEII CHURCH. It was known locally as “The Little Pink Church”.
