Roman Villa Brenzone
one of the great Roman villas of Lake Garda
The Roman Villa Brenzone is a recent discovery of the end of the 20th century, extending the cemetery of Castelletto, came to light in the walls of a Roman villa from the first century BC which, by extension and importance of the finds is in the measure of villas already found in other locations on the lake (
Sirmione,
Toscolano,
Desenzano); for now it is the first on the veronese side, about two thousand square meters, articulated on various levels, exploiting the slope to the lake; the story of this villa is then intertwined with that of the
church of San Zeno, built in medieval high on what should be a place of worship belonging to the villa, also using parts from it.
