As for his works in oils, he painted a picture of S. Rocco for the altar of the Santificazione in the Church of the Madonna della Scala, in emulation of the S. Sebastian which Il Moro painted for the other side of the same place; which S. Rocco is a very beautiful figure.
Visitors never caught a glimpse of Rocco in the kitchens, though sometimes, on a special night, he would stroll nonchalantly through the dining-room, like the great man he was, to receive the compliments of the hotel habitues people of insight who recognized his uniqueness. Theodore Racksole's sudden and unusual appearance in the kitchen caused a little stir.
'Exactly, Racksole put in, and continued quickly: 'Mr Rocco, I wish to acquaint you before any other person with the fact that I have purchased the Grand Babylon Hotel. If you think well to afford me the privilege of retaining your services I shall be happy to offer you a remuneration of three thousand a year. 'Tree, you said? 'Three. 'Sharmed.

The rite is now most generally undertaken by the Scuola di San Rocco.

The Last Supper in San Giorgio, for instance, and the Adoration of the Shepherds in the Scuola di San Rocco illustrate his unique power of presenting sacred history in a novel, romantic frame-work of familiar things.
Ammiani now understood that there lay an unspoken depth in her, distinct from her visible nature. He had first an interview with Rocco Ricci, whom he prepared to replace Irma.
