Various archaeological excavations witness the prehistorical occupation of the area. In the past, Castelnuovo was known as Beneventum, to become later Quadrivium, because of its geographical position among the four cities of Verona, Mantua, Brescia and Trento. In the 12th century it became Castrum Novum, which slowly changed to Castelnuovo (from 1867 Castelnuovo di Verona and from 1970 Castelnuovo del Garda). The most important
