Corte Sgarzerie, Medieval loggia in central Verona, Italy.

The Corte Sgarzerie features red marble columns supporting an upper floor, creating a covered space for commercial activities in the historic center.

During the 13th century under Mastino II della Scala's rule, this loggia became central to Verona's wool trade, hosting quality control and sales operations.

The name Sgarzerie derives from the local dialect word 'sgarzar', reflecting the wool carding activities that took place in this commercial space.

The loggia stands near Piazza delle Erbe and Porta Borsari, allowing visitors to explore underground archaeological remains of the Roman Capitolium temple.

Archaeological excavations between 1988 and 2004 revealed sections of the cryptoporticus that once surrounded the main Roman temple of Verona.
