The evocative Alpini Church stands between Juliet's Castle and Romeo's Castle. Its construction was the result of a vow made by an Alpine soldier who survived the Russian Campaign in 1942: the soldier promised that, if he returned home safe and sound from the war, he would dedicate a small church to the Madonna dei Castelli. Construction began in October of that year, and the chapel was blessed on October 4, 1945. The project was entrusted to architect Ferdinando Forlati, who had already been involved in the restoration of the castles in 1939. The result was a simple building, constructed of local stone, inspired by the medieval style, perfectly integrated into the landscape and the ancient fortresses.

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.

A medieval fortress, destroyed and rebuilt several times over the centuries, built on the hills of Montecchio Maggiore for its strategic position along the Via Postumia, controlling the passage between Verona and Vicenza. A previous fortification likely existed in Roman times. It is known as "Juliet's Castle" by tradition and folklore: Luigi da Porto, a military leader and man of letters, retired from military life and wrote the first story of Romeo and Juliet in 1531 in his residence in Montorso, overlooking the two castles. In the 19th century, at the height of Romanticism, legend arose that the two castles, so close yet so far away, inspired him to imagine them as belonging to the rival families of the Montecchi and the Cappelletti. Shakespeare later drew inspiration from his work to make the tragic love story famous. Today, the castle houses a bar/restaurant, and admission (free) is open during its opening days and hours (see link); From the panoramic terrace, you can enjoy a magnificent 360° view of the surrounding valleys and hills, covered in greenery and cultivated fields. https://www.prolocoaltemontecchio.it/cosa-vedere/castelli-di-giulietta-e-romeo/ https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castelli_di_Romeo_e_Giulietta
