Custoza (Script error: No such module "IPA".;[1] Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a northern Italian village and hamlet (Script error: No such module "Lang".) of Sommacampagna, a municipality in the province of Verona, Veneto. As of 2011, its population was 812.[2]

History

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". The name of the village is derived from Latin Script error: No such module "Lang".[1] ('protection' or 'wardenship'), since it was originally built as a watchtower over the Via Postumia.[3] The earliest mention of Custoza is in a document dating from March 1185.[4]

The location 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.[5] In memory of them, the architect Giacomo Franco built the Ossuary of Custoza (Template:Langx), a war grave and memorial building opened in 1879.[6][7]
