The church is one of the oldest in the city, you think about the second half of 1300, according to the findings of the masonry adjacent to the building and possible association with the plague in 1380 in Mantua, San Rocco, pictured with San Sebastian, figures are protective to the disease and are often present in the church, even as wooden statues.

The Church of San Rocco, in the course of 1500, was restored and enlarged in the early part of the century and adorned with frescoes. Here he also established the Confraternity of the Most Holy Trinity, but with the arrival of the French was abolished in 1792. In the course of 1800, with the wars of the Risorgimento, the building remains in a state of decay and is intended for other uses, such as treatment of injured during the Battle of Solferino in 1859 and horses in subsequent periods. In 1886 the bell tower was demolished, damaged by time and is rebuilt but to a lesser extent for economic issues. The church of San Rocco has now been restored externally and internally.
