Caprino Veronese

caprino veronese

The town of the plane tree that made history

Caprino Veronese is a fascinating town that houses centuries of history and a breathtaking landscape. 

Rising on ancient Etruscan and Roman settlements, Caprino today offers an atmosphere suspended in time, consisting of characteristic towns, vineyards, and the panoramic trails of Monte Baldo. Its historical centre, dominated by the century-old Platano dei Cento Bersaglieri, recounts legends of courage and recollection. In fact, it is said that in 1937, a good 100 riflemen hid among its ample branches. This corner between the lake and mountains is ideal for anyone looking for adrenaline through climbing, paragliding, and horseback riding, but also for people looking to discover the authentic flavours of autumn, such as extra-virgin olive oil, truffles, and chestnuts. 

Caprino welcomes every visitor with the warmth of its traditions and alluring nature that is still intact.

the legendary tree

Located in the hamlet of Platano in Caprino Veronese, this monumental tree dates back to 1370 and is considered the largest plane tree in Italy.

Standing over 25 meters tall, with a trunk circumference of around 15 meters and a canopy covering 300 square meters, this green giant is also the center of intriguing historical anecdotes. In 1937, during the Italian Army’s Summer Maneuvers, a company of one hundred Bersaglieri reportedly hid among its branches, while in 1944 German troops attempted to trim it, fearing partisan ambushes.
