location
The church is located inside the city walls at 63 Via Vallerozzi (facade). The back is adjacent to Via Pian d'Ovile . Both are located in the third third of the city, Terzo di Camollia, in the Contrada Lupa (she-wolf), of which she is the counterpart church. The building complex includes the crypt , which is now used as a contrade museum and was restored in 2002, as well as the Cappellone (large chapel).
history
The building was built at the instigation of people who turned away from the Compania laicale di San Sebastiano (Via Garibaldi) and founded the Compania di San Rocco . The construction of the church began around 1511, as described in a report by Sigismondo Tizio from the same year. From 1526, the interior decoration was started by Senese artists. To this end, the Compagnia laicale di San Rocco founded the Tavola del Crocefisso circle , in which Bernardino Capitelli, Ilario Casolani , Giovan Paolo Pisani, Simondio Salimbeni and Niccolò Tornioli took part. The column with the Lupa romana (Roman she-wolf or Capitoline-wolf ) was erected in 1548 and replaced as early as 1602. The she-wolf is now in the Sala delle Vittorie . The wolf, which is now before the church was donated to the city of Rome from 1966. The facade consists of a round window , decorated in polychrome , with the arms of Arte dei Calzolai ( Schuhmacher - Guild ), below this there is a wall niche with the statue of St. Rochus from the Mazzuoli workshop .
One of the most important works of art in the church is the Storie di San Rocco fresco cycle by Crescenzio Gambarelli and Rutilio Manetti , which was created between 1605 and 1610 in the adjoining Cappellone di San Rocco building. The oratory was completed between 1530 and 1540. Since the start of construction, in which the contrada participated, the place has been used as a church and as a contrada seat. The first differences between the church and the contrada arose around 1740, when the contrada was no longer to use the Cappellone . The disputes were settled on August 8, 1743 and the contrade was allowed to use the premises, but for a compensation of 12 scudi and 7 lire and the symbolic contribution of three decorated white candles annually. In addition, from this point on, the Palios (Palii) obtained had to be exhibited in the rooms of the church. The rectangular campanile with its four arches and four bells also dates from the 18th century.
On March 21, 1785, on the instructions of Grand Duke Leopold II , the Contrade had to leave San Rocco and moved to the Chiesa di San Donato ai Montanini at what was then Piazzetta di San Donato (today Piazzetta dell'Abadia on the border of the contrade to the caterpillar (Bruco)) , but at the same time applied to Archbishop Tiberio Borghesi to get San Rocco back. This request was granted on February 8, 1786 and confirmed by Leopold II on September 10, 1789. Since then it has been owned by the Contrada Lupa. Major restorations took place in 1910, 1933/34 and 1962. The reverse fountain, designed by the architect Giovanni Barsacchi and executed by Emilio Montagnani and made in bronze, has adorned the back of the church since 1962. The church belongs to the Archdiocese of Siena-Colle di Val d'Elsa-Montalcino .
