Church of Saint Mary of the Rosary

A very well organized parish, skilled priests, large and well exploited spaces of the oratory, excellent choristers and organist, welcoming and clean the church.

A very welcoming place of worship with "modern" ceremonies and sermons

Arrived by chance, I saw the enthusiasm of the young priest conveyed to about 80 children on the occasion of the eve of Our Lady of the Rosary. I haven't seen this scene for a very long time. Bravo and wise.

Wonderful church. It has an excellent, very large and organized oratory with lots of outdoor space for activities (soccer, basketball, etc.), many rooms and classrooms to be used for meetings and / or didactic activities. This parish with its oratory are the reference point for the young and adults of the neighborhood who also lend themselves to volunteer activities.

Church from the beginning of the century in very eclectic neo-Romanesque forms. Born for a suburb at the time peripheral and worker, it was then the parish of Walter Tobagi, to whom the cultural center is dedicated.

Santa Maria del Rosario is a prepositural parish church [1] of twentieth-century conception located in Milan in Piazza del Rosario, along via Andrea Solari, in the territory of the Deanery of Porta Vercellina. [2] Completed in 1914 on a design by the priest architect Enrico Locatelli, also author of the project for the church of San Domenico di Legnano, [3] stands in an area whose strong industrial and residential urbanization began at the end of the nineteenth century outside the ramparts of the city and which culminated in 1905 with the construction of the first popular district of the Humanitarian Society in via Solaro (via Solari) designed by the architect Giovanni Broglio [4] for the Humanitarian Society and in which, in 1906, a thousand people were already hosted. [5 ] The church was preceded by a small concrete chapel erected in 1907 and which served as a religious meeting place for the numerous new inhabitants of the neighborhood in which some establishments had already settled whose buildings partially occupy the left side of via Solari. The new district, at the time in the "Macello area" due to its proximity to the public slaughterhouse which was located along the current Viale Papiniano and which was demolished in 1931, was then still squeezed between the railway livestock yard served by the Porta Ticinese station. (Porta Genova station) [6] and the Circonvallazione Railway that cut via Solari and continued towards Piazza Po: it was therefore a district that was still peripheral and popular and already densely populated, and the territory of the parish was very large.
