The Great School of San Rocco is a lay brotherhood founded in 1478. The deep popular veneration of St. Rocco, whose relic had already been in the possession of the Confraternity since 1485, contributed to its strong growth and became the richest school. of the city.
It was then that it was decided to build the new imposing monumental seat, then calling on Tintoretto to paint his most famous pictorial cycle with episodes from the Old and New Testament. It is the only one of the ancient Great Schools to have survived the fall of the Republic.
It is an exceptional place where over 60 paintings are preserved in their original location in a building that has undergone almost no changes since its construction.
