Villas and local history

San Pietro In Cariano was the seat of the Vicariate of Valpolicella from 1452 to 1805. The Domus Vallis Pulicelle on Piazza Ara della Valle in San Pietro In Cariano was the permanent seat of the Vicariate of Valpolicella. Both facts give the local history a clear chronological and geographical context.

Villa Giona is located in Cengia di Nogarine in the municipality of San Pietro In Cariano. The Jewish family of the same name, originally from Verona, built it between the late 15th and early 16th centuries, initially as a fortified residence to protect their land holdings. Villa Giona was later expanded into a magnificent summer residence.

Villa Betteloni dates from the second half of the 14th century. It is a Venetian villa in the hills of Castelrotto in San Pietro In Cariano.
