Small church in the Piesco quarter, reopened in 1998 after earthquakes and a fire, once home to a Franciscan friary.

The Church of San Rocco stands in the Piesco quarter, the oldest part of the village, in Piazza 4 Novembre, just outside the walls. Until the 17th century a friary of Friars Minor was attached to it; of the original structure the «cappellone» (large chapel) near the presbytery survives.Damaged by the earthquakes of 1962 and 1980 and by a fire in 1974, it was restored and reopened for worship in 1998. We like it because, small as it is, it has considerable artistic value.
