San Rocco Church (Italian : Chiesa di San Rocco) is a Roman Catholic church, located at the corner of Vie Roma and Legnano, two blocks northeast of the Duomo, in central Piacenza, Italy.
It is dedicated to Saint Roch, patron of those afflicted by the Plague. [1] It was constructed in the 16th century. [2]
Commissioned by the Confraternity of San Rocco, while externally plain, the interior of the church was decorated in a rich late-Baroque or Rococo style. The church houses a canvas of Madonna and Saints by Giuseppe Nuvolone, a canvas of the Life of San Rocco by Giuseppe Gorla (1722) and a Glory of San Rocco by Paolo Bozzini.
Giovanni Paolo, also known as Gian Paolo Panini or Pannini, was an Italian painter and architect who worked in Rome and is primarily known as one of the vedutisti. As a painter, Panini is best known for his vistas of Rome, in which he took a particular interest in the city's antiquities. Among his most famous works are his view of the interior of the Pantheon, and his vedute—paintings of picture galleries containing views of Rome. Most of his works, especially those of ruins, have a fanciful and unreal embellishment characteristic of capriccio themes. In this they resemble the capricci of Marco Ricci. Panini also painted portraits, including one of Pope Benedict XIV.
