Rivoli Veronese, between the mountain and the lake

Rivoli Veronese is located at the foot of Monte Baldo, at the mouth of the Valdadige region, a short distance from Lake Garda, the intersection of the Sun cycle route with those of Garda and Valpolicella. Rivoli is celebrated in Paris with ‘Rue de Rivoli’, linking the Louvre to the Place de la Concorde, as the site of the battle that the young General Bonaparte won against the Austrians in 1797, during the first Italian campaign.
