Our day follows a tour of about 25 km, which can be traveled by car or bicycle for expert cyclists, starting from the hamlet of Arbizzano.

In the suggestive valley of Novare, which unfolds in an inlet of remarkable beauty rich in water and kissed by the sun, we will be able to admire Villa Mosconi Bertani,majestic palace of the mid-eighteenth century.

The palace, which is not always open to the public, as privately owned and still inhabited today, consists of a main building with the two most advanced low wings linked by a gate with obelisks and vases.

The interior has a large central hall, which includes both floors of the villa in height, with allegorical frescoes.
A large agricultural land cultivated with vineyards is attached to the villa, crossed by a wonderful path among the famous Valpolicella grapes, which can be covered on foot or by bicycle.

Villa Mosconi Bertani is known for having been a center of Romanticism thanks to Ippolito Pindemonte, Veronese poet and writer, as well as being the birthplace of Amarone, a wine now internationally famous.

Taking the car (or bicycle) again, we will turn right and at the Santa Maria roundabout take the road to Negrar.

After about 3 km on the main road that lazily climbs to the center of the Negrar valley, we will be able to observe a monument of contemporary art installed on the roundabout near the center of the village, the sundial, the work of the architect Giuseppe Ferlenga, which provides with precision the 'solar time, the true noon of Negrar, the summer and winter solstice, the equinoxes and the direction of the winds thanks to the rudder positioned on the cusp.

Very interesting it is Villa Rizzardi in Pojega, easily accessible on foot from the center of the capital.
The garden, which can only be visited in the summer season, was built between 1783 and 1796 on the project of the famous architect Luigi Trezza (1752-1823), commissioned by Count Antonio Rizzardi.

Trezza conceived a synthesis between the Italian garden and the romantic garden, with architectural compositions "in green" such as the Grove with the circular Temple, the Nymphaeum, the Secret Garden, the Oval Pond, the Parterre and the Green Theater, at the end of which is a sublime Belvedere.
An abundant series of mythological statues, placed to complete and decorate the garden, animates the different paths, defining a rich and complex iconographic program.

The villa, residence from 1967 to 2004 of the well-known Spanish sculptor Miguel Berrocal, enjoys an excellent view of the Negrarese valley.

Once we have resumed our journey north, towards Sant'Anna d'Alfaedo and Lessinia, a small detour to "Villa" deserves a visit, so called because in 1887, during the agricultural works, the remains of a mosaic pavement of a Roman villa of the III century AD (now preserved in the archaeological museum of the Roman theater of Verona) belonging to the urban-rustic typology.

A few kilometers before reaching Sant'Anna, you can turn right to observe  Forte Monte Tesoro.
The Italian fortification work controlled the area of nearby Valpantena, as shown by the loopholes facing south-east. It was organized on three floors and surrounded by a moat that protected the front of the fort, while an embankment sheltered the domes.

Continuing, on the borders of the municipality of Sant'Anna d'Alfaedo, under the district of Crestena and the hamlet of Giare, you cannot miss the famous Ponte di Veja, the most imposing and majestic geological monument in the whole Lessinia.

It is a gigantic natural arch, with a light of about 50m, formed thanks to the evolution of an original karst cave that opened over millions of years in the limestone rock due to the erosive action of the water that penetrated from the outside and whose vault then collapsed, leaving only the entrance lintel standing.

The area, which can be traveled on foot through marked paths, is part of the Lessinia Regional Park. Since there are no lights, it is to be considered a daytime destination.

With this breathtaking show we arrived at the halfway point of our tour.

We will then return to the valley, this time taking the road to Prun and passing near the suggestive quarries of Pietra della Lessinia (also known as the quarries of Prun).

Already used for the construction of the castellieri on the ridges of the Lessini Mountains starting from the Bronze Age, this limestone has always been the most used construction material in Lessinia, both for the relative ease of its extraction and for its versatility: we will see them almost everywhere on the roofs, but also in walls, sinks, fences, courtyards, floors.

The most recent quarries are open-air, but until the second post-war period the mining areas were underground and the galleries supported by rock pillars.

Tunneling was abandoned around the fifties of the twentieth century, the quarries, similar to primitive rock architecture, today constitute a place of great visual and emotional impact.
