SOMMACAMPAGNA

The region is both hilly, it spreads out along the morainic hills, and flat.
Ca' Zenobia
is interesting to visit for its frescos by Farinati Paolo (1524-1606) that present scenes from Illiade and Odissea, and decorate a bedroom.
Only a short way away you can find Villa da Vico, the council seat, planned by the neoclassical architect Adriano Cristofoli. On the ground floor, the walls of the hall are painted in distemper and a Ratto is painted on the ceiling of the stairs. Upstairs, on the noble floor, it's of great value and rarity a Germanic tapestry that deals with scenes of pastoral life.

Sommacampagna is an area full of villas because many noble families chose the countryside to build their villa to spend their holidays or to manage the agricultural works. These buildings are of great architectonic interest.
In consequence this piece of land has been agricultural for a long time, the main cultivations, beside vine, are peaches and kiwis.

Pieve di Sant'Andrea

St Andrea Church, inside the graveyard, has an historical and artistic importance. It is one of the best examples of romanic art in Verona and it dates back to XIth century. In ancient times it had been a little pagan temple dedicated to Diana. It is formed by three apses. The frescos inside are suggestive and interesting , they dates back to 1200 and one of them is by Maestro Cicogna who worked also in St Zeno's in Verona. The Redeemer, the figure in the centre, is particularly solemn.
