Nice cycle path, too many people on foot on Sundays

The first mention of this fountain dates back to 1540, but it is likely even older. After the Black Death of 1348 decimated the population, with the demographic recovery, the surrounding wooded area was once again cultivated under the name 'terra nova', hence the name of the fountain. It fed the aqueduct of the basin near the bell tower of St. Peter's, but was forgotten at the beginning of the 20th century, when the municipal aqueduct came into operation. It was faithfully restored in 1982: it consists of a (closed) tunnel that protects the spring and channels the water to the small external basin. The water is not subject to control.

Il principale affluente del torrente Onte, il rio Mezzaruolo, pare debba il suo nome al suo scorrere “in mezzo”, in quanto per conclamata consuetudine è considerato il confine fra l’abitato di Sovizzo Basso e di Sovizzo Alto, i cui rispettivi parroci diedero vita negli anni ‘20 ad una accanita disputa per la sovranità sulla contrada San Daniele. Proprio in questa località, dove il nome di questo corso d’acqua è garbatamente storpiato in Smerdarólo (che forse è proprio l’appellativo originario), un antico ponte lo attraversa: il ponte Balabardo. La data in numeri romani iscritta sul manufatto (1647) si riferisce evidentemente ad un rifacimento o a un restauro sostanziale in tempo di Serenissima, in quanto il ponte risale almeno all’arrivo a Sovizzo dei Longobardi (fine sesto secolo), come suggerisce anche il nome tramandato dalla popolazione. Forse un tempo era semplicemente un guado, poi acconciato opportunamente dagli invasori che lo etichettarono per sempre con il loro appellativo: Bara (carro) e Bard/ Bart (ascia/lancia). Del resto non mancano nel territorio di Sovizzo riferimenti a termini di origine longobarda: Garibaldo, Braio, Valgrossa, Pietraguarda, Bellaguardia… Il territorio di Sovizzo parla longobardo.

In the heart of the hills of Montecchio Maggiore, Monte Longo is a summit with a beautiful panorama and a suggestive glimpse of the two castles of Romeo and Juliet, which seem to look at each other like two lovers. * Monte Longo or Monte Ratto? In GoogleMaps it is marked with the first name, in OpenStreetMap/Komoot with the second (?)
