OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS OF IMMERSION INTO THIS FANTASTIC CHAPTER OF MEDIEVAL HISTORY,

Electronic copies are available at libraries.  I have used both thee library at the Ohio State University and the University of North Texas.   Great reading.

For both articles in both Italian and English, Wikipedia comes through.  Search "castles in Italy"  and Veneto to find dozens of  castles.  In Italian, the category degli Scaligeri reveals 19 castles.

Here's everything you need to know about Verona.

Nice guide covering the area of Lake Garda.

There are so many wonderful and public places to visit in Italy.  FAI is a major factor in the preservation and organization of great destinations.

There's nothing as easy as hoovering over the map of any town and searching for Via Castello and finding the historic locations of every Italian town.  We've spent countless hours searching for castelli or rocca.

A great site for all castles in Italy, listed by region and province.

The nationwide effort in Italy to research every historic structure goes through the capable and passionate hands of the IIC.  They have just mapped thousands of castles on the mappa page.   They show 700 castles in the region of Veneto.

Great book from cover to cover.  I read a copy from the Library in Sirmione .

In this part of Italy, there are hundreds of things to do and see.  This site is a great guide for trails to attractions.  Good source of history.

Good guide to Italian castles.

Good guide to all that there is to see in the Lake garda area.

Good guide to the Euganei hills to the southwest of Padova.
