The story
The story of Concamarise
A dot in the Verona lowland plain
Concamarise covers one of the smallest municipal territories in the entire province of Verona, set in the lowland plain between the Tartaro and Menago rivers, in an area of flat, regular countryside typical of the zone between Verona, Legnago and Cerea. The landscape is dominated by fields of cereals and forage crops, crossed by drainage canals and small country roads, without hills or natural features of particular scenic interest. It is agricultural territory in the fullest sense of the word, where village life still largely follows the calendar of the crops.
One of the smallest municipalities in Veneto
With a population of just a few hundred inhabitants and a very small territorial extent, Concamarise is counted among the smallest municipalities not only in the province of Verona but in the entire Veneto region. This tiny scale is reflected in a very close-knit community life, without the services and infrastructure of the larger centres in the area, such as Nogara or Cerea, towards which residents gravitate for most daily needs. It is a village that should be described for what it is: a small agricultural nucleus, not a tourist destination, where the value lies in tranquillity and human scale rather than in a structured visiting offer.
Between the Tartaro and Menago rivers
The territory of Concamarise is bounded by two minor but hydrographically important watercourses of the Verona lowlands, the Tartaro and the Menago, which over the centuries shaped the network of canals and ditches on which the area's agriculture still depends today. These waterways, together with the land reclamation works that affected the whole of the Veneto lowlands between the 19th and 20th centuries, made once-marshy land arable, turning the area into one of the province's most productive cereal-growing zones. For those who love quiet countryside, the paths along the banks of these watercourses offer simple, unpretentious walks that still convey the genuine feel of the Veneto plain.
Everyday agricultural life
The economy of Concamarise is based almost entirely on agriculture, with family-run farms growing maize, soybeans, cereals and forage crops also destined for the livestock farming widespread throughout the Verona lowlands. There are no significant industries or a developed commercial fabric: the village lives on its bond with the land, in a continuity repeated generation after generation. It is an image of rural Veneto far from the major tourist flows, but one that faithfully represents the everyday face of many small plain municipalities, where agricultural production still remains the community's main reason for being.
A village without pretence
It should be stated clearly: Concamarise is not a tourist destination and does not present itself as one. It is a small residential and agricultural municipality, small in size and population, offering mainly quiet, country air and direct contact with the rural life of the Verona lowlands. Those looking for monuments, museums or an elaborate historic centre should head towards the larger centres in the area. Those who instead enjoy crossing, perhaps by bicycle, the deep countryside of the Verona area, among canals, tree rows and small farming hamlets, will find in Concamarise an honest, no-frills stop along the way.
