The small village of Valeggio sul Mincio that extends over two bridges was once the site of a mill. Province of Verona, Veneto Italy
The history of Borghetto is an important transit point and a border area claimed by opposing the Mincio was the most comfortable and secure in the south of the lake and the river a natural barrier, over the centuries, between the lands of those of Verona and Mantua, in a border area targeted by lords and armies here had their appetites: the Gonzaga, the Scala family, the Visconti, the Venetian Republic, Austria, France. These places also have shaped the Napoleonic battles, and especially those Risorgimento yet, the green snake of the Mincio here that winds through the countryside, reveals unsuspected Arcadia, provokes endless reveries. The landscape is motionless, eternal, timeless and brings us back to our need for sources to our sources, as in any river where water myth and dream merge. Walking in Borghetto evening to see a sunset on the Mincio, or when the fog blurs the outlines of houses uncovering only the blackbirds Ghibellines, is like sinking into a medieval imagination.
