Rovello Porro


Until 1926, the town was named simply Rovello. A decree of administrative reorganisation issued by the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy in 1807 ratified the annexation of Rovello to Rovellasca. This merger was however abolished by the Restoration.
In 1926 the town changed its name to "Rovello Porro". A new merger between Rovellasca and Rovello Porro was recorded in 1928, with the formation of a new municipality by the name of Rovi Porro, with its seat in Rovellasca. The existence of “Rovi Porro” ended in 1939, when Rovellasca and Rovello Porro were reinstated as independent towns.
The stop at Rovello Porro opened in 1878 as a conversion of the pre-existing Como-Fino-Saronno tramway

In 1925 it was completely rebuilt in its current form, to the design of Milan architect Ugo Zanchetta. The painted decoration was completed in stages between 1928 and 1945 by painter Vanni Rossi, and features a wonderful cycle of frescoes depicting the Mysteries of the Rosary, among others.
