La Scuola Grande di San Rocco nacque come sede di una confraternita di cittadini benestanti, dediti ad opere benefiche. "Istituitasi nel 1478 come una Scuola di devozione di battuti sotto il titolo di S. Rocco, nel 1489 essa era già Scuola Grande in grazia dell'accresciuto numero di confratelli, per le benemerenze acquistare nel lenire pubbliche calamità e per l'insigne reliquia, qui recata nel 1485, del corpo di S. Rocco, la cui protezione veniva invocata nelle epidemie, per essersi questo santo, nativo di Montpellier (1295-1327), dedicato in vita all'assistenza degli ammalati. Ispirandosi anzi ad una tradizione religiosa, il Santo veniva raffigurato in veste di pellegrino in atto di mostrare il bubbone pestilenziale, da cui era stato colpito durante il suo pietoso ufficio a Piacenza e da cui era stato miracolosamente curato da un angelo in un bosco in cui si era ritirato in compagnia del suo cane fedele che quotidianamente gli recava il cibo necessario. Nel 1515 fu posata la prima pietra del grandioso edificio, la cui costruzione si protrasse per circa un cinquantennio. (Fonte Wikipedia)

An image that tells the majestic beauty of the school. Let me add a little note. The school was the only or among the only places of art that was not plundered by that barbarian of Napoleon, who destroyed and robbed Venice.
The school is a place worth a thorough visit and if you are not art experts like me, I suggest visiting with the guide.
Good Light, Eugenio
