Founded in 1478 as a charitable institution and named in honor of San Rocco, the 16th-century building houses a much-celebrated fresco cycle by Jacopo Tintoretto that is likely his largest. Frescoes adorning the scuola’s walls and ceilings were painted by Tintoretto in the 1580s and gloriously depict scenes from the Old and the New Testaments.
