Salieri was a citizen of the Republic of Venice, but spent most of his life at the Habsburg imperial court in Vienna, where he had many musicians as pupils, including Beethoven, Liszt, Schubert, Czerny and Hummel, to demonstrate high school of the composer. The first settlements stopped along the course of the Adige river, thanks also to the fertile soils, and date back to the Bronze and Iron Age.

Subsequently, thanks to the reclamation of the Romans, the surrounding countryside became very ductile and the town became a reference point in the lower Verona area. During the 10th century, transforming the small canal into the main course of the Adige river, and gradually widening and strengthening the banks, the inhabited center assumed the face of a real fortified city, which is still visible today.

But only after a few centuries, under the Republic of Venice, the city managed to transform itself, consolidating the fortifications, which were then destroyed during the Cambrai War, and above all redesigning it as a stellar plan.

Today in Legnago to visit we find the Cathedral of San Martino Vescovo, an unfinished building located in Libertà Square, dates back to the neoclassical era and is dedicated to San Martino Vescovo. The Torrione, the only remaining example of the ancient walls that surrounded the city, located a few steps from the Cathedral in Libertà Square. At one time this symbol was also used with the prison function.
