oratorio, sussidiario, Oratorio di San Rocco, Chiesa di San Rocco

The Oratorio di San Rocco in Albiano is a small, rectangular Baroque church with a gabled roof of terracotta tiles and a modest bell-cot. Its restrained façade centres on a stone-framed portal, topped by a matching oculus; a small rectangular window sits to the left. Along the side street, two upper windows break the wall: one with a flat lintel, the other a low arch of small stone blocks. Inside, a single nave with a barrel-vaulted ceiling leads to a raised central altar, one step above the floor. A notable stone confessional with three openings is set into the right wall.

First mentioned in the statutes of 1705, the oratory was then dependent on the parish of Sermezzana. Little is recorded until 1941, when a pastoral visit found the structure unsafe and closed it for renovation. Repairs to the roof and internal plastering continued through the second half of the twentieth century. Tucked against neighbouring buildings in a tight village plot, it remains a quiet, unassuming example of local Baroque piety.
