The chapel, honoring Saint Roch’s charitable dedication to plague victims, was built in the early part of the 1400s around when the saints cult spread to Italy.
The people of Novello think back on the saint, born in Montpellier around 1295, with fondness.
G. B. Maiolo’s monograph provides invaluable evidence of the 1835 plague that struck Cuneo and its surroundings, while the town of Novello was spared. During the cholera epidemic that spread through Piedmont in 1884, the chapel was used as a hospital; no town resident fell ill.
The apse painting, now irretrievably lost, featured an almond-shaped frame with the figure of God the Creator "in majesty" and depicted S. Rocco, the 12 Apostles and the martyrs S. Stephen and S. Lorenzo.
Older townsfolk remember the iconography; the vivid cobalt blue, red, purple and golden yellow hues that resembled Byzantine as well as Romanesque design.
