The Oratory of San Rocco is located in Tornolo, a small town in the province of Parma. This religious building, built during the 17th century, is dedicated to San Rocco, the patron saint against plague and infectious diseases, highly venerated in several Italian regions, especially during epidemics.

The oratory was built during a difficult period for the local population, who had suffered several calamities, including epidemics and famines. Devotion to San Rocco was therefore strong, and the building became a place of prayer and hope for the community.

Over the centuries, the oratory has undergone several restorations, but has maintained its religious function intact. Today it represents a symbol of the faith and resilience of the people of Tornolo.

The oratory is located in a panoramic position, which allows you to enjoy a splendid view of the surrounding valley. Even today, the feast of San Rocco, which is celebrated on August 16, attracts numerous faithful and visitors.

The Oratory of San Rocco is an important testimony to the religious history of Tornolo and a significant place of worship for the local community.
