The church of San Rocco in Monterotondo was built by enlarging a simple chapel holding an image of the Virgin, that was built outside the town walls.
This chapel was the destination of pilgrims who came from all over to ask for the grace of Our Lady.
The story says that the inhabitants of the village began to seek benevolence to this image that began to "rain down" on them a flood of graces and blessings.
For this it was called Maria Santissima of the Flood of Graces.
Thus was born the San Rocco church that holds the image.
