The Church of San Rocco in Agliè is dedicated to the saint traditionally invoked against epidemics, who, according to tradition, devoted his life to caring for plague victims. The original building was demolished in 1931 and rebuilt a short distance away; only a few significant elements of the previous structure have been preserved, including the central icon, the wooden statue of the saint and the bell tower clock.

The current church is in the Neo-Romantic style, with a characteristic exposed wooden truss ceiling that gives the interior a simple yet welcoming feel. Inside, the central icon depicting the Virgin Mary flanked by St John the Baptist, St Roch and St Sebastian stands out.

On either side of this composition are two frescoes by L. Perrone, depicting St Joseph and St Gaetano respectively. The walls have also recently been repainted by the artist Gilardi, who, through original use of perspective, has revitalised the church’s interior, giving it a more modern feel whilst respecting its historical and devotional identity.
