Arch of the First Rosary 🏛Sacro Monte⛰

The Rosary Arch welcomes visitors to the Sacro Monte and represents the first stage of a devotional path linked to the prayer of the Rosary, which recounts 15 "mysteries", i.e. key events in the story of Mary and Jesus. The events represented at the Sacro Monte are divided into three groups of five mysteries: the joyful, the sorrowful and the glorious mysteries. This arch introduces the joyful events. The inscription on the top of the arch reads "Come to me, all you who love me", a phrase that is to be understood as an invitation from Mary, to whom the Sacro Monte is dedicated, to pass through the gate of paradise. In Christian symbolism, Mary is in fact considered the "gate of heaven".

The chapel was commissioned by the Litta brothers, nobles from Milan, in memory of their family coat of arms. The eight statues are by Martino Retti (1608), who wanted to create figures that "would reproduce as much as possible the naturalness". In the centre is the suffering Christ, over whom the henchmen are drawing grotesque faces. In the background are three large fresco scenes by Pier Francesco Mazzucchelli, alias Morazzone (1609): Christ before Caiaphas; Christ and Barabbas shown to the people; the naked Christ being drawn to be scourged.
