On May 9, 1530, Bishop Gilberti granted the Gaoniti the permission to erect a church in honor of St. Roch, the patron saint against the plague. The heads of families of Gaon also committed to having a weekly mass celebrated.
The construction of the church began immediately but was completed in 1650; in 1710, Don Giovanni Pachera donated the bell. During the Napoleonic period, with a decree from the Italic Kingdom of May 8, 1806, the church was closed to worship. All liturgical celebrations were suspended, and registers, documents, and even the chalice were taken to Verona. But thanks to the intervention of influential people, it was reopened in the same year, and on October 5, the feast of the Rosary, the celebration of the mass resumed. The zeal of the Gaoniti and the generosity of the chaplains Don Giovanni Battista Lucchini and Don Luigi Schiena adorned the little church and enriched it with sacred furnishings.
