Via Madonna del Rosario – A curious plant rosary
The street of Our Lady of the Rosary is lined with a row of lime trees. Planted in the 1950s, there were originally 153 lime trees, the number corresponding to the complete round of the holy rosary recited three times, consisting of 50 "Hail Marys" and an "Our Father" for each round. A real living rosary, which unfortunately over time has lost some of its "grains" due to the death of some of the plants.
