The San Rocco Church in Avezzano, rebuilt in 1958 based on a design by Giuseppe Zander after the 1915 earthquake, stands on the site of a 15th-century religious building. The structure, modern and minimalist, features a single nave, a square apse, a Pinchi organ from 1971, and a travertine façade with a cruciform rose window and a bell tower with single-lancet windows. Among the liturgical furnishings, the ambo stands out, positioned on the left side of the presbytery and slightly elevated above the nave. It is made of concrete and stone and follows the sober style of the entire building, designed to ensure visibility and functionality during liturgical readings. The church also hosts the historic Confraternity of San Rocco and the well-attended “Men’s Feast” in honor of Saint Joseph.
The design for the Church of San Rocco in Avezzano takes the Ambo as its main point of reference—one of the most significant original elements, decorated with symbolic motifs inspired by nature. Completing the representation of the church are Saint Roch, the church’s patron, and Our Lady of Grace, who is deeply venerated by the local community.
The graphic design is based on the reproduction of the original motif located in front of the ambo. This digital rendering has made it possible to accurately determine the fabrics and techniques to be used, ensuring the highest fidelity to the historical artistic details.
