History

Let's start with the history of Veggiano. The city is very old and there have been finds even before the Roman era. For example, in the museum of the castle of San Martino della Vaneza, in the municipality of Cervarese Santa Croce, two magnificent Paleo-Venetian dugouts made from trunks are preserved. In Roman times, Veggiano was a center of some importance and there was a temple dedicated to Janus. Subsequently, Veggiano was a border land in the wars between the people of Padua and Vicenza. The castle of Montegalda was the post of the Vicentines, but a surprise attack from Veggiano was able to definitively conquer the castle. During the Serene Republic of Venice, Veggiano became part of the territory and subsequently became part of the Kingdom of Italy.
