Valeggio sul Mincio

The town extends along the Mincio River between Veneto and Lombardy regions, featuring hills covered with vineyards and agricultural fields at 88 meters elevation.

Archaeological findings from excavations at Isolone della Prevaldesca in 1955 revealed a pile-dwelling settlement containing 16,000 artifacts from ancient civilizations.

The village names originate from Lombard language, with Valeggio meaning flat place and Borghetto referring to a fortified settlement along the river.

The town maintains cycling paths connecting to neighboring destinations like Peschiera and Mantua, offering opportunities for outdoor activities throughout the year.

The Ponte Visconteo bridge spans 650 meters across the landscape and was constructed as a dam-bridge to control water flow from the Mincio River.
