La Cappella di San Rocco è collocata in prossimità del centro abitato; all’interno è custodita una statua in gesso del santo mentre quella lignea è ubicata nella chiesa matrice. La costruzione risale al 1848 ma inizialmente veniva utilizzata per la sepoltura dei morti; la stessa funzione era riservata all’annessa fossa del cimitero retrostante ma solo fino ai primi del Novecento, epoca in cui un’epidemia la volle riempita di cadaveri fino all’inverosimile. La Chiesa custodisce al suo interno le spoglie di buona parte della famiglia Lemme, in particolare quelle di don Giandomenico. (web)
The Chapel of San Rocco is located near the town; inside there is a plaster statue of the saint while the wooden one is located in the mother church. The building dates back to 1848 but was initially used for the burial of the dead; the same function was reserved for the attached pit of the cemetery behind it but only until the early twentieth century, a time when an epidemic wanted it to be filled with corpses to the point of unbelievable. The Church holds within it the remains of a large part of the Lemme family, in particular those of Don Giandomenico. (web)
