SS. Trinità/San Sepolcro: l’ecclesia Rozonis in rapporto alla chiesa e alla città di Milano

[Autom. eng. transl.] Benedetto Rozo, exponent of a family of Milanese coin makers, in 1030 decided to erect a complex of churches, dedicating it to the SS. Trinità, in the area of the ancient forum of the Roman city. The project, exposed in the document of 1030, was shared and elaborated with the ecclesiastical summits and in particular with the archbishop Ariberto and for the insisted focus on aspects of human life and on the passion of Christ it seems an ideal response to the doctrines spread a little earlier in the city by the heretics of Monforte. In 1100 the church became the center of the celebrations for the conquest of Jerusalem by the will of Archbishop Anselmo IV about to leave for the crusade and so the dedication to the Holy Sepulcher ended up prevailing in the denomination. The subsequent documentation certifies the maintenance of the patronage in the various branches into which the descendants of the founder were divided and the continued importance of the sacred building within the city's cult circuit.
