Chiesa di San Rocco, Ronchiano (Castelveccana)
The church, from which Gino news was barely heard in the late 16th century, faces east and has a unique rectangular aisle and square presbytery overlooked by a sacred arch crowned by a classical frame Believer classroom is grafted. The very simple system corresponds to the unadorned facade that is open to a small collection in the center of the. The masonry is made of mixed stone; the cover is in Kopen. The bell tower sounds on the north flank. Ronchiano's narrow streets are a sight alone!
In 1629 a terrible outbreak of plague broke out, which continued until 1631 and decimated the population by two thirds. (And the plague was made famous sadly and realistically in the "Promises of the Bridal Couple".) On the occasion of this scourge, the residents of Castello Valtravaglia made the vow to build an oratory in honor of San Rocco, which they protect with knowledge of his amazing contributions for the festival. The small church, which was built around 1640 with harmonious and subtle architectural lines, is located between the old houses of Ronchiano. The altar is made of fine wood and also made of wood is the statue of the saint, the work of a master of Valgardena. This little church, raised by a Renaissance veranda, is important for the cycle of frescoes it contains; Unfortunately, they are in grave danger of disappearing and only partially brought back into the light by the inappropriately whites that had covered them. For what can be seen, they are dated from the early 16th century and are placed in different boxes: St. Martin in the act of dividing the mantle, San Sebastiano transfixed, Christ in the almond (rumble frame) mystical, the Last Supper. In 1985 a picture was placed on the altar that depicts "the sacrifice of St. Genesis": it is the faithful reproduction of the brave Milanese painter Giovanna Ronchi from the original painting from the 17th year, which had previously fended off two weapons.
