The Valpolicella: Appartamenti in Agriturismo near Verona in Veneto, Negrar in valpolicella
The Valpolicella
The name Valpolicella, used to indicate the region that starts from the south-western slopes of the Lessini Mountains and is bounded by the loop that makes the Adige descending towards Verona after its outlet from the Chiusa, appears for the first time in the 12th century. In fact, prior to this period, it is not mentioned and, only from the 12th century, it is mentioned in historical memories such as "Vallis Pulicella".
In the previous documents, we find the Veriago Valley, which included the easternmost part of the current Valpolicella, corresponding to today's territory of the municipality of Negrar, and the Pruviniano Valley (Val Provinianense) which designated the remaining portion instead central. The distinction disappears in the mid-twelfth century, at the time of the Lordship of the Municipality of Verona, when city officials reached the Valley via the Adige and landed at the river port of Pol, a place from which the name Valpolicella would derive.
Later the area was established as a fiefdom and entrusted to Federico della Scala, cousin of Cangrande, who assumed the title of Count of Valpolicella. After the lordship of Federico della Scala, Valpolicella, now an administrative unit, acquired a physiognomy that it kept forever.
