CAMPONOGARA

In the area south of the Brenta Naviglio, at the intersection of roads and canals, you can see signs of the ancient centuriazione (agricultural land division). There is an interesting phenomenon of ‘sabbioni’ – raised areas caused by river debris and frequent flooding. The centre – which takes its name from walnut growing – together with the districts of Prozzolo, Premaore and Campoverardo, preserves the same agricultural features it has had since antiquity, where historical and environmental evidence and traditions make it a great place to visit, including via ‘slow’ travel.

There are several villas with farm buildings and oratories (Villa Bembo, dating back to the 16th century, Villa Barella and Villa Papadopoli, now the town hall) and the old courtyards, like Corte Canal and Campoverardo, with palaces and rows of rural buildings.
