Holiday apartment in Legnago: Discover culture, history and routes

Adige and archaeological heritage

The Adige River has played a fundamental role in the historical development of Legnago since the 10th century. The town’s past also includes a Bronze Age Terramare settlement discovered in 1931 and Etruscan remains. For a stay in Legnago with a historical focus, the early settlement history can be planned as a separate theme alongside the later history of the town and its theatre.

Torrione, Risorgimento and Teatro Salieri

The Torrione stands in Piazza della Libertà and was part of the town walls built by Sanmicheli. The Risorgimento Museum in Palazzo Fioroni provides an in-depth introduction to Italian unification. Its eight rooms trace the journey from the Napoleonic period through the Carbonari and Mazzinian movements, the events of 1848 and the Second Italian War of Independence to Giuseppe Garibaldi’s legacy; they also include Garibaldi memorabilia. Those interested in culture can explore political movements, wartime events and memorabilia in Palazzo Fioroni as a separate thematic sequence.

Teatro Salieri was inaugurated on 15 September 1956. Following a conservation restoration in which the existing decorative elements were restored, it was inaugurated again on 13 February 1999.
