Holiday apartment on Via I Maggio Mediana Dell'industria: villas and churches in Mozzecane

Holiday apartment in Mozzecane: discover culture and architecture

Those looking for a holiday apartment on Via I Maggio Mediana Dell'industria can get to know Mozzecane through its distinctive villas, churches and tangible evidence of its local history. Villa Ciresola comprises a manor house, adjoining barchesse and a large garden in the center of Mozzecane. The Biblioteca comunale “Galileo Galilei” is located inside the villa. The library can be accessed via Via Montanari and is accessible without architectural barriers.

Villa Vecelli Cavriani is also located in the center of Mozzecane. It was built around the middle of the 18th century and restored after a period of decline. Its entrance is at Via Caterina Bon Brenzoni 5; the villa is accessible without architectural barriers.

Villas from several centuries

The historic buildings are spread across different districts and periods. Villa Canossa was built between 1769 and 1776 in the eastern part of Grezzano. Villa Miniscalchi in San Zeno is stylistically dated to the first half of the 17th century. On the northern side of Mozzecane's town center, Villa Brenzoni appears as an 18th-century palace; at the same time, it presumably dates back to the 17th century.

The Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo in Mozzecane is documented as far back as the papal bull “Piae postulatio voluntatis” of 1145. The present building was created through a remodeling carried out between 1747 and 1754. The painting “Madonna col Bambino e i SS. Paolo e Faustino” by Giovanni Caroto, created around 1540, is located on the apse wall. A visit therefore combines documented medieval history with a Renaissance work of art and the church's later architectural form.

Grezzano, travel route and local life

Grezzano also adds to the cultural picture. The church of Grezzano was rebuilt in its present form between 1678 and 1682, based on a design by the Veronese architect Vincenzo Pellesina. Its interior decoration dates from 1944 and was carried out by Gaetano Miolato. Those wishing to follow a culinary trail in addition to exploring architectural history can include the Strada del Riso Vialone Nano Veronese IGP route in their daily itinerary: it passes through Grezzano di Mozzecane to Villa Canossa.

Another date in the history of local events is July 9, 2022. On that day, the traditional PORTÈGHI opened the summer season in Mozzecane. For practical orientation at the address, it is also relevant that the municipal recycling center is located on Via I Maggio Mediana Dell'industria and is step-free accessible via Via Primo Maggio.
