Waterways, Wine and Theatre

The route “Tra il vuoto delle valli e l’eco dei briganti” runs along the banks of the waterways Adige, Fossa Maestra and the former Cagliara River.

The local wines of Villa Bartolomea include Merlot, Grinto and Graspia. For travellers who enjoy combining sightseeing with regional flavours, this topic offers a suitable point of connection. Another cultural facet is the Teatro Sociale. A series of theatre performances takes place there every year; reservations for the Teatro Sociale are managed by the cultural department of the Municipality of Villa Bartolomea.

Churches and Historical Testimonies

The present-day Church of San Bartolomeo Apostolo was built from 1841 onwards to replace the Romanesque church in the town centre and was completed in 1855. Inside, there is an altarpiece from the early 17th century by Domenico Tintoretto. It depicts Saint Bartholomew together with other saints. Those interested in religious art will find a specific historical point of reference here for their stay.

The Oratorio di Sant’Anna tells a different story. It was built in 1798 next to Villa Ghedini as a place of prayer for all the residents of Villa Bartolomea. The oratory also contains a reliquary with around 500 relics of saints, each accompanied by ecclesiastical authentication. The Church of Santa Margherita Vergine e Martire was built between 1856 and 1864 according to a design by the architect Benedetto Ferrari from Legnago. It has a single nave and is neoclassical.

The Campanile di Carpi adds to this succession of historic buildings. The free-standing neo-Gothic bell tower was completed in 1914 and is considered one of the tallest in the Basso Veronese. Together with the churches and the oratory, it creates a stay centred on different eras, architectural styles and religious testimonies.
