The Scuola Grande di San Rocco<\/strong> is one of the greatest artistic masterpieces in Venice<\/strong> and one of the most intense sites of European Renaissance art. Declared a Scuola Grande<\/strong> by the Council of Ten<\/strong> in 1489<\/strong>, its primary mission was to assist the sick during plagues, under the protection of Saint Roch<\/strong>, invoked against the pestilence. <\/p>\n The Scuola survived the Napoleonic suppressions (1806), keeping its artistic heritage and identity intact. Today, it is universally famous for the pictorial cycle by Jacopo Tintoretto<\/strong>, created between 1564 and 1587<\/strong>. <\/p>\n Inside is preserved one of the greatest unified pictorial cycles in art history, consisting of over fifty works<\/strong>: <\/p>\n The dramatic force of the light, the bold compositions, and the narrative rhythm make the Scuola di San Rocco a true “Venetian Sistine Chapel”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The guided tour allows you to:<\/p>\n Opening hours and admission<\/strong><\/p>\n Trust those who know the territory.<\/p>\n Contact us now for a quote<\/strong> or book online<\/strong> your guided tour of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3942,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categoria-visita-guidata":[61,86],"tag-visita-guidata":[63],"class_list":["post-3941","visita-guidata","type-visita-guidata","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-visita-guidata-guided-tours-of-monuments-and-museums-in-veneto","categoria-visita-guidata-guided-tours-of-monuments-and-museums-in-venice","tag-visita-guidata-monuments"],"acf":{"introduzione_visita":"Discover the Scuola Grande di San Rocco with a guided tour of Tintoretto<\/strong> and over 50 masterpieces.
