Morning Escape at Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice

Writer's picture: Boaz AlbertBoaz Albert

Seeking a break from the rising heat, we decided to explore the Scuola Grande di San Rocco early in the morning. The air conditioning was modest, with only the top floor offering significant relief, but the cool, serene atmosphere inside was refreshing. The highlight of our visit was the second floor, where we admired Tintoretto's magnificent Old Testament paintings that adorned the ceiling.



To make the visit engaging for our teens, I turned it into a game, challenging them to identify the biblical scenes. They quickly recognized familiar stories like Noah's Ark, the Sacrifice of Isaac, and the Parting of the Red Sea. This interactive experience brought the art to life and made our visit not just an escape from the heat but also a meaningful connection with our heritage.



Despite the less-than-ideal air conditioning, the beauty and historical significance of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco made it a memorable and enriching stop on our Venetian journey.
