Small church on the Via Francigena which from Montalto Dora leads to the Nero and Pistono lakes as part of the tour of the 5 lakes.

Saint Roch (“San Rocco”), to whom this church is dedicated as the patron saint, was born in Montpellier, France, in the middle of the 14th century. He is popularly considered – along with Saint Sebastian – to be the “plague saint”. What is characteristic of the depiction of Rochus in paintings and as statues is that he usually points to a plague boil on his leg; A dog can often be seen at his feet, because according to legend, when he was caring for plague patients, he himself fell ill with it and retreated into solitude, providing him with bread every day.

The feast day of San Rocco in the calendar of saints is August 16th.
