The Valli Grandi Veronesi are particularly wild areas of the lower Veronese, between the course of the Adige river and the Po river. An area crossed by various rivers and a complex network of canals, which were once known as "Paludes Tartari Fluminis”, in marshes of the Tartaro river, the waterway that has historically characterized the area.

In fact, the large Veronese valleys were covered with swamps, which were formed by the excessive abundance of waters that did not find flow into the plain, due to the low slope of the land. In particular, these areas were strongly marked by climatic and hydrographic disruptions throughout the Middle Ages, which gradually flooded the whole province.

Once again, the conquests of the Serenissima Republic of Venice, during the late Middle Ages, which deliberately flooded the valleys on several occasions, so as to be able to transfer the fleets from the Adige to the Po, and vice versa.
