San Rocco Church

Originally built as a small oratory, the Church of San Rocco was enlarged and transformed in the 19th century through the initiative of Don Matteo Romani, to a design by the architect Marchelli.

The three-aisled building, featuring a Gothic-style façade, stands on the site where, according to local tradition, victims of the 1630 plague were buried during the devastating epidemic described by Manzoni.
Veneration of San Rocco, patron saint of the sick and plague victims, inspired the construction of the new church as a token of the population's faith and gratitude.
Until the early 19th century, the surrounding area served as a burial ground for local residents.
In 1948, the church was established as an independent parish by episcopal decree, before later being reincorporated into the Parish of Campegine.
