Corte Sgarzerie is a monumental complex located in the heart of the old town of Verona, at a short distance from Corso Porta Borsari and Piazza delle Erbe, consisting of the square by the same name, a late-medieval loggia and the archaeological site of the Capitolium. It is a place deeply rooted to wool production, as the toponym itself attests – "sgarzarie" is a Veronese term that refers to "scardasserie": places dedicated to the carding activity.
History
.jpg)
During the thirteenth century Veronese wool industry activity increased significantly, to the point that the techniques of production and the produce became highly sought after in several markets of northern and central Italy.
During the principality of Mastino II della Scala, the activity reached even higher levels of production, and several measures were taken to better organize the whole manifacture effort, concentrated mainly at Corte Sgarzerie. Therefore, it was most likely during his government that the so-called Mangano loggia was built, located in the center of the square and which still characterizes it today: this loggia was in fact necessary to give more space to wool workers, whom under it could measure, weigh and stamp products and haggle.
Description
An inscription placed on the entrance arch to the court recalls the historical importance that this place had for the city: "Here were the wool mills where the Common Veronese had so much luster and power from the third to the fourteenth century of the vulgar era". In the center, occupying almost entirely the small square, is the Mangano loggia, characterized by the columns made of red Verona marble supporting the upper floor, divided into various rooms currently home to several organizations.
The court gives access to the underground site of the Capitolium, the main temple of Roman Verona, dedicated to Jupiter, Minerva and Juno. Between 1988 and 2004 under the loggia an archaeological excavation was carried out that revealed a section of the cryptoporticus that surrounded the temple on three sides, as well as the remains of a glacier, a cellar and the foundations of a medieval tower house.
