Ca' Nova Pond

Located at an altitude of about 170 metres at the foot of the village of Cavaion, the Ca' Nova pond is of morainic origin, left by the melting of the Würmian glacier, together with other ponds and intermorainic ponds that must have existed in the Naiano and Pozzoi/Bossema areas. At the edge of this pond, a village was located in the Bronze Age (between 2000 and 1500 B.C.), which yielded various findings. Discovered at the end of 1980, the settlement yielded numerous finds, in particular earthenware vases and objects, bronze daggers, points and flint and bone objects, preserved today in the Archaeological Museum in the Town Hall. It was a village of huts made of logs and marsh grasses inhabited by men dedicated to hunting, breeding, modest agriculture and some forms of exchange and trade with the pile-dwelling villages of Lake Garda and those inland. Ca' Nova is a pond that has always been characteristic of the Cavaionese territory, which has unfortunately been reduced in size in recent years following various interventions.
