The recently restored
San Rocco church was built in the 17th century and features frescos dedicated
to the life of Saint Rocco di Montpellier, who is venerated in the Roman
Catholic church as the protector against the plague and all contagious
diseases. Conservation and restoration work has been ongoing since 1985
to the roof, bell tower and facades, and the chorus stalls. The residents
of Lugano have always considered the baroque church of Saint Rocco a privileged
place of culture and while it is used for prayer and worship, it is also
a place where locals meet, largely due to its central geographical location
within the city. (read
