Approaching Negrar di Valpolicella, visitors are greeted by elegant Venetian villas. These estates stem from an economic boom starting in 1405 under the Venetian Republic, when nobles from Verona purchased local land. Following a 2019 referendum, the town of 16,935 residents officially appended the valley's name to its own.
The municipality reaches altitudes of 860 meters, encompassing hamlets like Montecchio Veronese. Long before the Venetians, this area 12 kilometers from Verona belonged to the Arusnati, who settled here by the 5th century BC. History enthusiasts should seek out the 3rd-century patrician villa remains at Corteselle di Villa for a concrete link to Roman times.
