Name: from San Rocco, patron saint of the locality and from Seno d’ Elvio, the stream running through the valley. Elvio was the Roman emperor Publio Elvio Pertinace born here and who governed Rome for only a few months until the 28th of March, 193 AD, when he was killed in a conspiracy. The district of Barbaresco called ‘Pertinace’ also derives its name from the same emperor.

Part of the Municipality of Barbaresco until 1952

In that year Barbaresco and Treiso separated and San Rocco joined the Municipality of Alba.
