Chiesa di San Rocchetto

Chiesa di San Rocchetto, Romanesque and Baroque church in Quinzano district, Verona, Italy.

The Chiesa di San Rocchetto sits on Monte Cavro hill with a gabled facade, three-arched portico, and square bell tower with biforate windows. The building blends Romanesque and Baroque elements in a straightforward design.

On Monte Cavro a Bronze Age castelliere already stood, perhaps used for observing the sun and stars. Between the 12th and 13th centuries three crosses and a space cut into the rock recalled the Holy Sepulchre, and in the early 15th century the present church was built, first dedicated to the Santo Sepolcro and later called San Rocchetto to distinguish it from the church at the foot of the hill. At the end of the 16th century a three-arched portico with a hall above was added to the facade, and the interior frescoes of the Storie di San Rocco, commissioned by Giovanni Antelmo detto Sposino, were finished in 1595.

The frescoes were commissioned by Giovanni Antelmo, known as "Sposino", and completed in 1595; they were restored in 1983. Paolo Ligozzi painted the Stories of Saint Roch across the south, east and west walls, from his birth in Montpellier to his death and the building of a temple in his honour in Venice. The north side holds an Annunciation from the school of Felice Brusasorzi.

The church is reachable by public transportation from central Verona to the Quinzano district and sits on a hilltop requiring a walk to reach. Regular services take place on a set schedule, so checking opening times ahead of time is useful.

The hilltop was compared to Mount Calvary in medieval times, leading to the placement of three crosses and a rock-carved cave resembling the Holy Sepulcher. This recreation of sacred geography drew pilgrims who could not travel to the actual Holy Land.
