Festa della Madonna del Rosario

The Marian festival of Ronco Briantino

In the Municipality of Ronco Briantino, in the province of Monza and Brianza, the second Sunday of October is dedicated to the Madonna del Rosario (Our Lady of the Rosary). It is one of the most deeply felt occasions in the local calendar, a Marian festival that intertwines devotion and community tradition.

The celebration is organised by the parish of Sant'Ambrogio ad Nemus, the spiritual heart of the town. Around the liturgical moments – including the procession in honour of the Madonna – the more popular and convivial dimension of the festival unfolds, bringing the inhabitants together for a day of fellowship.

An autumn tradition

Devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary is widespread throughout Italy and has its roots in a long religious tradition. In Ronco Briantino, the festival takes on the character of a community celebration: a moment when the town in the Brianza region comes together, renewing an event that repeats year after year with the regularity of the seasons.

Ronco Briantino and the Brianza region

Located in eastern Brianza, northeast of Monza, Ronco Briantino is a small municipality with a vibrant associative and parish life. The Festa della Madonna del Rosario is one of the threads that hold this community together, alongside other events that mark the local year.
