The history of Brenzone

History of Brenzone: even if Brenzone was inhabited by Romans, there are many remains that dated back the first settling in Bronze age. The rocky graffitos dated back to II millennium B.C. that have been found in Castelletto are a clear evidence  of the first settlement.

As it has happened for many other towns, the name of Brenzone seams to derive from the family “Brenzone”  that lived in Castello, one of Brenzone village.

It is assumed that, during various centuries, the area, one of the largest of the province of Verona, has been named also: “Bruncionum”, “Branzonus”, “Brianzono” and “Brenzono”.
