13)   GENERAL INFORMATION  about  SAN GIOVANNI LUPATOTO

 

Historical mentions – populations resident in the zone of San Giovanni Lupatoto, as more in general of Verone and of all Veneto, have origins very ancients.

First inhabitants were in fact the Euganei, of which we can find tracks in the fraction Raldon, in it is placed one of the most vast lake-areas of Verone’s province.

Then in the following centuries come other people like the Reti, Etruschi, Veneti and Galli.

During Cesar’s empire the Veneti become roman citizens and so the zone become roman town council.

First roman finds backed to 244 A.C. in a kind of plebeian necropolis.

 

The name – the name “San Giovanni Lupatoto” appears for the first time in the Middle Ages in a document in which were fixed the limits of country’s properties.

In 1553 for the first time San Giovanni Battista’s church was consider as “ecclesia parrocchialis” subject to the chair of Verone.

On 28th August 1625 the Serenissima Repubblica Veneta gives legal investiture to San Giovanni Lupatoto of autonomous commune, with 800 inhabitants.

In 1814 the congress of Vienna allots to the Austrian empire the Lombardy-Veneto and so also San Giovanni Lupatoto passes under the Austrian hegemony.

 

In 1928 with the annexation of Lombardy-Veneto to Italy’s kingdom, San Giovanni Lupatoto became integral part of Verone’s town hall, but only after 5 years in 1993 it achieves the definitive autonomy.

 

Actual situation – the town hall of San Giovanni Lupatoto comprises fractions of Pozzo, Camacici and Raldon.

It is only 8 km away from the centre of Verone, chief town of province, art and historical town, one of the Italian cities most visit from tourists, with some attractions of world-wide importance like the Gardalake, the Arena, Romeo and Juillette’s balcony,  Erbe Square, Bra’ Square, S. Pietro Castle, Castelvecchio’s bridge, the agricultural fair, the Vinitaly, horses fair and more others.

At only 21 km from San Giovanni Lupatoto children can enjoy themselves attractions of Gardaland,  the amusements park among the best of the world.

Industry, very developed, works in the sector of food, tailorings-dressmakings, footwears, engineering, textile, chemical, wood, paper and building’s material.

In particular in  these last years two industries are distinguished themselves for their initiative and massive advertising campaigns, as Rana and Melegatti. The tertiary sector, that of services, social activities and transports enters a certain prosperity, like trade’s sector, influenced considerably from the opening of big downtowns.
