At the end of the 19th century, the construction of the wealthy neighborhood of Circonvallazione a Monte significantly altered the area, when Corso Magenta and the Sant'Anna funicular were built immediately to the South of the convent. The religious buildings and the quaint village in which they are located have nonetheless remained intact and quiet to this day.
The Pharmacy is still active today. Several ancient recipes are still prepared and updated when necessary. The laboratories have been refurbished to reflect modern needs and the latest regulatory requirements.
After 1933, the Convent, the church and the pharmacy of Sant'Anna are accessible also with an elevator from the tunnel which connects Corso Magenta with the Elevator Magenta-Crocco.
