The Scuola Grande of San Rocco in Venice, Italy, is the only active “scuola,” or confraternity, in the city. It has maintained its original appearance and magnificent decoration – nearly all of which was by Tintoretto – for the last five centuries. It is also my absolute favorite monument in all of Venice. The most spectacular room is the up-stairs chapter hall which is full of magnificent Old and New Testament paintings by Tintoretto and is what I like to call “The Sistine Chapel of Venice!” Buona visita!
