    At the end of the 14th century, we have news of an oratory called Cappella S. Rocco at the end of the Porta di Borgo bridge, built in honor of the patron saint against the more extensive plague. In 1630, construction of the new church of S. Rocco began on a site near the previous oratory. Completed in 1639, another of the current altar welcomed the current canvas with four characters: the Madonna and Child above, S. Rocco, S. Sebastiano and S. Antonio; the first two saints are protectors against the plague, S. Antonio is the protector of domestic animals who are present in great numbers in what was then the garden, behind the saints are abandoned victims of the plague shielded. The altar of the Madonna of Pompeii with an image is said to date from the period after 1700, the period in which the Madonna del Carmine was venerated. The altar of S. Rocco that stands at the entrance of the baroque style sacristy is recent and houses an ancient statue of the saint.
