Abstract: We describe all possible ways how a ring can be expressed as the union of three of its proper subrings. This is an analogue for rings of a 1926 theorem of Scorza about groups. We then determine the minimal number of proper subrings of the simple matrix ring $M_n(q)$ whose union is $M_n(q)$.
