The Scorzarolo Ice House is a singular and eye-catching brick building with a circular plan, approximately four meters deep underground. In the winter it was filled with snow and was used to store food in the summer, but it cannot be ruled out that it also had a public health service function.

Next to the silent ruins of a large farmhouse in Verolavecchia, the ancient icehouse resists time, guardian of an agricultural past that tells of ingenuity and tradition. A precious testimony, immersed in the placid simplicity of the plain, where every brick speaks of toil and life lived.
Discover it with a slow cycle tourism: pedal among memories of times gone by and let yourself be enveloped by the hidden details of a territory that knows how to excite with its authenticity. Here, in the heart of Bassa Bresciana, even the past continues to breathe.

The Scorzarolo Ice House: Ingenuity and Tradition
This circular brick structure, with an ogival roof and about four meters deep, was filled with snow in the winter to preserve food during the summer. It may also have had a public-health service function, making it a key element of rural life at the time.
