A conflict within the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in 1540 concerning the display for the annual procession of Corpus Domini shows clearly that in those years of religious discussion and reformation many members of the scuole grandi were seized by the same wish for religious renewal as Alessandro Caravia, who was to publish Il sogno dil Caravia with its well-known trenchant criticism of the scuole grandi in the following year. The then renowned lawyer Girolamo Gigante played a decisive role in this conflict.
