The dedication to St. Roch is justified by the fact that the saint, three centuries earlier, had dedicated his short life to curing plague victims by contracting the disease. It was demolished in 1931 and, of the old building, rebuilt nearby, only the central icon, the wooden statue of the saint and the bell tower clock were retained. The current building imitates the neo-romantic style with an exposed truss ceiling. Inside, to the sides of the central icon depicting the Madonna, St John the Baptist, St Roch and St Sebastian, are two frescoes signed L. Perrone depicting St Joseph on the left and St Gaetano on the right. The walls were recently repainted by painter Gilardi, who has given a new face to the interior of this small church with original perspectives.
