San Rocco Church ( Italian: Chiesa di San Rocco) is a Roman Catholic church, located at the corner of Vie Roma and Legnano, two blocks northeast of the Duomo, in central Piacenza, Italy.
History
It is dedicated to Saint Roch, patron of those afflicted by the Plague. [1] It was constructed in the 16th century. [2]
Commissioned by the Confraternity of San Rocco, while externally plain, the interior of the church was decorated in a rich late- Baroque or Rococo style. The church houses a canvas of Madonna and Saints by Giuseppe Nuvolone, a canvas of the Life of San Rocco by Giuseppe Gorla (1722) and a Glory of San Rocco by Paolo Bozzini.
