The San Rocco Complex

Culture

The Church of San Rocco is an unexpected and surprising space that conjures up distant memories and emotions for visitors. It is a space that is clear and simple, but also intriguing, as it reveals to the observer, the geometric layout that has generated the architecture, as well as the source of the light that sweeps down its walls. The idea of the church corresponds to the idea of its lighting. There is no possible separation between form and space. The whole architectural design offers itself as a mediation between the solidity of the earth and the lightness of the sky.
