About Festa di Sant'Ambrogio
Saint Ambrose, Ambrosian Patron Saint
In Rozzano, a municipality in the province of Milan, December 7th is a significant date: it celebrates Saint Ambrose, patron saint of the Archdiocese of Milan and a foundational figure in Ambrosian Christian tradition. A bishop and Doctor of the Church, Ambrose is one of the most beloved saints in the Milanese territory, and his feast day symbolically opens the Advent and Christmas celebrations.
Solemn Mass
The heart of the patronal festival is the solemn Mass in honor of the saint, which gathers the parish community in the church dedicated to him. It is a moment of reflection and devotion, during which Rozzano renews its bond with the patron saint of the great city to which it is closely linked.
Christmas Market
Alongside the religious dimension, the festival is enriched by the parish Christmas market, which brings the festive atmosphere to the streets around the church: stalls, gift ideas, and artisan products, in a celebratory mood that involves families and children at the beginning of the most magical time of the year.

For those who wish to experience the most authentic and traditional side of the town on the outskirts of Milan, December 7th is the right day to discover Ambrosian devotion and the Christmas atmosphere that accompanies it.
