IN THE HEART OF VENICE WHERE ART, CULTURE AND THE SACRED COMBINE

The Confraternity of Saint Roch, founded in 1478 and immediately recognized by the Council of Ten, received the relic of Saint Roch's body in 1485.

Between 1517 and 1549, the Confraternity moved to one of the most prominent and captivating buildings in the city, one that preserves the extraordinary, original work of Tintoretto. The Confraternity of Saint Roch, which was made an "Archbrotherhood" in 1789 by Pio VI, has continued its activities without interuption to the present day.
