Trail Reviews
Baon A quiet town south of the Euganean Hills The Municipality of Baone extends along the southern slope of the Euganean Hills and includes the hamlets of Valle San Giorgio, Calaone and Rivadolmo. Its territory is mainly hilly, characterized by the presence of numerous agricultural and wine-growing activities. The mild climate, the fertile soil and the presence of thermal springs (such as the one still existing in Val Calaona) have favored human settlement since ancient times. The area was first colonized by the Paleo-Venetians and then by the Romans, following the fate of the nearby city of Este. Following the fall of the Roman Empire, the area experienced a long period of decline and abandonment which ended only after the year 1000, when it became part of the feudal territory of the Marquises of Este, acquiring great strategic value. Various fortifications were erected on its hills, protagonists of the bloody struggles against the Ghibellines of Ezzelino and the lords Da Carrara.
