Ronchetto delle Rane, Rural locality and former parish in southern Milan, Italy
Ronchetto delle Rane is a small residential area in southern Milan that spreads near Rozzano. The neighborhood centers around Via Manduria and Via Pescara between the areas of Quinto Stampi and Quintosole.
The area started as a rural village within the Corpi Santi territory and became part of Milan through annexation in 1873. This event ended its time as a separate settlement outside the city.
The neighborhood keeps its identity through Cascina Tre Ronchetti, a historic complex with four L-shaped buildings and a small church at its center. This building group shapes how the area looks and feels today.
Ronchetto delle Rane lies in Milan's Municipio 5, north of Rozzano and between Quinto Stampi and Quintosole. The built-up area is concentrated around Via Manduria and Via Pescara, so orient yourself by these two streets. The settlement sits at about 103 metres above sea level.
The neighborhood gained attention when actor Alberto Sordi mentioned it in his film Il vedovo, making an indirect reference to a meal there. This film reference connected the area to Italian cinema history.
