The «Associazione Italiana San Rocco di Montpellier» has been established in Sarmato, in the province of Piacenza, on the 16 october 2010, with cultural and social purposes, and without any political or commercial finality. It organizes men and women united, for the most different motivations, by a common interest for the figure of Saint Roch.


It takes care of social activities and is involved in voluntary unpaid activities, through its own local sections; it favours the most rigorous studies about the figure of saint Roch, thorugh the operative deed of the «Centro Studi Rocchiano» (Center for Studies on Saint Roch).
The Association collaborates with the «Association Internationale Saint Roch» of Montpellier, the Arciconfraternity «Scuola Grande di San Rocco» of Venice and the «Asociación San Roque España» of Llanes, prestigious points of reference for all the Rochian realities in Europe and in the whole world.


Anyone who is willing to support it may become a member of our Association. Joining is free, without discrimination regarding religious matters nor social, political, cultural, or about race or gender.
