The route of the Romanesque in Valpolicella allows visitors to reconstruct, through its most prominent examples in the area, this architectural style which was used throughout Italy and Europe during the 11th and 12th centuries. The Romanesque style, which is characterised by different elements according to the region, assumed in Verona, the province and especially Valpolicella, an architectural physiognomy particular to the Italian artistic context.  
The more complete and mature examples of this style, which reached its peak in the 12th century defined as the golden age of the Veronese Romanesque, are the San Giorgio Parish church in Valpolicella which was constructed in the Lombardic period (8th Century) on a steep hill populated by the pre-roman Arusnati, and the San Floriano church built in the 11th - 12th century probably on the site of a previous pagan temple. Numerous other "minor" rural churches are spread over the area such as: San Pietro at Arbizzano and at Torbe (both hamlets belonging to Negrar); San Martino in Corrubio in the area of San Pietro in Cariano; San Marco in Pozzo di Valgatara (a hamlet belonging to Marano); Santa Maria di Degnano in Fumane; the old church in Cavalo di Fumane; San Zeno in Poia in Sant'Ambrogio.
The bell towers of the San Martino parish church in Negrar, the San Vito church and the San Peretto church all date back to the Romanesque period.
