The feast of San Rocco, Canaletto (Wikimedia Commons)

Smaller in size but full of wonderful monuments: you will find the church of the same name and the special Scuola Grande di San Rocco, as well as a smaller portion of the enormous Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari.

Softly, especially on summer and spring days, it is easy to find a street performer gladdening passers-by with his music.

Campo San Rocco is one of the few fields that is not crossed or bordered by a canal.

The field is enclosed between the Church, the School and the Scoletta di San Rocco and the apse of the Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. Initially the field was almost a private area reserved for the brotherhood, it was closed by a vegetable garden and a garden, subsequently the opening to the road made it a place of passage.
