Custoza (Italian: [kuˈstɔddza];[3] Venetian: Custoxa [kuˈstoza]) is a northern Italian village and hamlet (frazione) of Sommacampagna, a municipality in the province of Verona, Veneto. As of 2011, its population was 812.[1]
History
The village is famous for two battles fought during the Italian Independence Wars: the first in 1848 and the second in 1866, both against the Austrian Empire.[4] In memory of them, the architect Giacomo Franco built the Ossuary of Custoza (Italian: Ossario di Custoza), a war grave and memorial building opened in 1879.[5][6]
Geography
Custoza is a rural village located in the southwestern corner of its municipality, next to Villafranca di Verona (6 km south), Valeggio sul Mincio (7 km west), and Tione dei Monti river. It is 5 km from Sommacampagna, 10 from Sona and Caselle, 12 from Verona-Villafranca Airport and 20 from Verona city centre.[7]
The village consists of a central settlement and 3 detached, but close, quarters: Valbusa (west – 45°22′29.2″N 10°47′20.2″E / 45.374778°N 10.788944°E), Gorgo (east – 45°22′45.5″N 10°48′17.7″E / 45.379306°N 10.804917°E) and Bellavista (south – 45°22′19.3″N 10°47′36.7″E / 45.372028°N 10.793528°E). Its territory includes the surrounding little localities of Bagolina, Balconi Rossi, Coronini,[8] Marognalonga, Monte Godio, Sgaripola and Vantini.
