Chiesa di S. Maria D’Ognissanti Detta Di S. Rocchello, Catanzaro
Chiesa di San Rocco or San Rocchello, Catanzaro
S. Maria d'Ognissanti Church, known as S. Rocchello
The church of S. Maria d'Ognissanti, as it has been handed down, was in the center of a "restricted" one whose parish, as De Nobili notes, was on the borders of S. Maria de Figulis and in front of the existing parishes in the Greek district of S. Nicola Favatà and S. Maria di Cataro lay. The monastery, which now houses the "Soveria Mannelli" barracks, was commissioned by the people of Catanzaro after the plague of 1562 and, according to a legend, that Saint Rocco should appear at the sea gate, to the troubled craftsman Pignero Cimino, to whom he gave a miraculous ointment that freed the city and its inhabitants from the epidemic.
