Religious Medallion interpretation?

[kuger]

Hello! Could anybody interpret,and possibly give an idea on a date from this??
It says,"B.V.M. DEL SS. ROSARIO on the one side,and "S. GIUSEPPI PREGA PER NOI",on the other?

Thanks!

' B.V.M.' stands for Blessed Virgin Mary
S. GIUSEPPI PREGA PER NOI means 'Saint Giuseppi pray for us'
Giuseppi (more likely, 'Giuseppe') is Joseph. "Saint Joseph, pray for us."

Thanks Mac,is this Italian?

Italian I believe.

BVM Our Lady blessed Rosary

S. Guiseppi prega per noi= S. Guisseppi pray (s) for us. (we)

 

[Mackaydon]

Italian--yes
I'll guess that "B.V.M. DEL SS. ROSARIO" means "Blessed Virgin Mary of the Holy Rosary"

Since the sixteenth century a church was dedicated to the SS headquarters of the brotherhood. Rosario to various events that finally became extinct in 1945.

In 1919, by edict of Bishop. N. N. Giannattasio vescovo di Nardo', the church of SS. Rosario became the second parish in Cupertino, after the Matrix. The first pastor was Rev. Salvatore Nestola. Between 1930 and 1959 the church was subject to substantial extensions including the erection in 1954 of the bell tower.

SS. Rosario is a "confraternity"... "A confraternity or sodality is a voluntary association of the faithful, established and guided by competent ecclesiastical authority for the promotion of special works of Christian charity or piety."

It doesn't help date the medal though.
