Is Scuola Grande di San Rocco worth it solo?

Worth itSolo

Solo, Scuola Grande di San Rocco works.

Often called 'Venice's Sistine Chapel', this is two storeys of dramatic Tintoretto canvases conceived as a single overwhelming program, with mirrors provided so you can study the ceilings without breaking your neck — and it's reliably uncrowded. The catch: it's one artist, one register of intense religious drama; visitors not moved by Tintoretto can find it heavy and repetitive.
