THE 1000 MIGLIA IN THE HEART OF THE PLAINS OF VERONA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originating from some Bronze Age settlements, Bovolone<\/strong> was a possession of the Bishop of Verona, who established one of his residences in the Bishop\u2019s Palace. In the post-war period, it developed as an agricultural centre and an area for the production of classic furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the most interesting sights are the ancient Pieve di San Giovanni Battista<\/strong> and the Oratorio San Biagio<\/strong>, of which the original bell tower remains and inside which several 16th-century paintings are kept. There is also the Cathedral of San Giuseppe<\/strong>, with its beautiful marble floor, the 130-pipe organ in the apse and the Della Scala-era sarcophagus containing the remains of Bishop Nicol\u00f2 Ormaneto<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Near Piazza Scipioni<\/strong>, the site of the Perseus War Memorial<\/strong>, is the Bishop\u2019s Palace<\/strong>, now the Town Hall<\/strong>, the Municipal Library<\/strong> and the Local Police Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the Menago Valley Park<\/strong> covers an area of about 35 hectares between the Menago River<\/strong> and the Fossa Nuova<\/strong> and is accessible from Piazzale Mulino<\/strong>; it includes a large picnic area and an animal enclosure. Finally, on the small island in the centre of the lake, it is possible to visit the reconstruction of the prehistoric village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
