Santa Maria del Rosario in Prati, Gothic Revival church in Prati district, Rome, Italy

Santa Maria del Rosario in Prati is a Gothic Revival church built by architect Giuseppe Ribaldi between 1912 and 1916. Its facade has a triple portal, a rose window and a mosaic in the lunette; the interior is divided into three naves by pillars and five arches, with paintings by Giovan Battista Conti and a starry-sky effect above.

Construction was completed in 1916 in response to the rapid expansion of the Prati district in the early 20th century. This timing sets it apart from Rome's older religious buildings and reflects the architectural trends of that era.

The church is the seat of a parish run since 1912 by the Dominican friars, who still celebrate Mass and the rosary there. Its name comes from the rosary, the prayer central to the Dominican order, and the altarpiece shows the Virgin of the Rosary. Visitors can see a mosaic of the Madonna of Pompei and a fresco of the Tree of the Prophecies of Mary on the counter-facade.

The church is located on Via degli Scipioni and opens for visitors during regular hours, though times may shift due to religious services. It is best to check ahead before visiting to ensure access during your preferred time.

The church occupies an ordinary lot on the secondary Via degli Scipioni rather than the main Via Ottaviano. This placement reflects an anticlerical tendency in late 19th-century Italy, when the new state assigned worship buildings peripheral plots in the growing Prati and Trionfale districts.
