You start from the Baita degli Alpini in via I Maggio, head south and take the cycle path in via A. De Gasperi then, arrived in via Saulieu, turn right and left at the roundabout until you reach the Caprino Veronese cemetery.
From here you take the cycle path that runs along the south side of the cemetery enclosure. The path runs along the Romanesque church of the Santo Sepolcro of the thirteenth century, which went through a series of vicissitudes but which is now quite well preserved and constitutes the Caprino Cemetery Chapel where the sculptural cycle of the “Lamentation over the dead Christ” was originally housed, currently in the museum at Palazzo Carlotti.
Church of the Santo Sepolcro and Lamentation over the dead Christ
The cycle path leads to Ceredello: a small hamlet, once autonomous and today a fraction of the Municipality of Caprino Veronese. Its presence is attested at least from the middle of the 12th century, when at the end of the century the considerable properties that the Chapter of the Cathedral of Verona had in place began to be documented.
