CHURCH
OF S. ROCCO -
Sestiere
of San Polo, XV
sec. -
 San
Rocco church was begun in 1489 on a Bon's project and consectraded in
1508.  This
church suffered a big restoration in eighteenth century by Scalfarotto
that almost canceled the entire original building.
Facade was built from 1765 to 1771 on Fossati's project and appears nowadays
in keeping with the Renaissance architecture of the adjoining Scuola Grande.
Almost all the estatues on the facade are by sculptor G. Marchiori.
Interior, with one nave with flat ceiling, reveals its Renaissance origin,
in spite of Scalfarotto's interventions.
As for the Scuola Grande Jacopo Tintoretto worked here painting the organ's
doors representing 'Annunciazione and San Rocco presentato al
papa.
