Neighborhoods
The section of the city which lies on the left bank of the Adige was named “Veronetta” in the early 19th century. It was Napoleon himself who gave this suburb its name and the name was intended to cast scorn on the section of the city that had been handed over to the Austrians after the Franco-Austrian Treaty. Veronetta, however, despite the origins of its name, was along with St. Peter’s Castle Hill (Colle Castel San Pietro) the cradle of Veronese civilisation. It was the site of the first Reto-Euganean settlement, features several monuments of historical importance, and, despite the fact that it isn’t part of the official guided tours, is a fascinating area. The area is bordered to the North by medieval city walls, which stretch all the way from the Torricelle, ideal spot for walks and bicycle rides. (from Tourism Verona)
