Contents

Camponogara is split into different frazioni: Premaore, Camponogara, Calcroci and Campoverardo.

History

The name of the town derives from Latin by the words campus and nux ("field" and "walnut"), later simplified by Venetian language to Camponogara. That name stands as a witness of the ancient plantations typical of the territory.

The name of the frazione of Campoverardo derives from the Germanic name Eberhard, probably a famous man that visited that territory during the 7th century. That of Prozzolo comes from the Latin word praedium ("little agricultural fund"), while Premaore is translated in "prato maggiore" ("biggest field").
