Santa Lucia (Verona)
Santa Lucia was an ancient paesino next to Verona. Today it has been absorbed into Verona, located to the south-west of the city centre, forming part of the Circoscrizione 4 of the Commune of Verona.History
It was the location for a hard-fought battle during the First Italian War of Independence between Piedmontese and Austrian troops, hidden in the parish cemetery and of the Gisella fort, positioned between Verona and the district of Dossobuono.
In the 1950s this district and that of Golosine were the subject of rapid urbanisation, uniting it to the city thanks to the construction of numerous popular residential houses, whose offshoots extended as far as the industrial, food, customs and agriculture zones.
