Gazzo Veronese is a "comune" (municipality) in the Province of Verona in the Italian region Veneto, located about 100 km southwest of Venice and about 30 km south of Verona.

Gazzo Veronese borders the following municipalities: Casaleone, Nogara, Ostiglia, Sanguinetto, Serravalle a Po, Sorgà, Sustinente and Villimpenta.

The economy is mostly based on agriculture.

History

Gazzo's area was inhabited since the 4th millennium BC, but the modern settlement has Lombard origin. Its name derives in fact from the Lombard "gahagi", meaning "wood". In Roman times it should be already populated, but the inhabitants fled with the fall of the Western Roman Empire. In the 9th century Benedictine monks of the Veronese church of Santa Maria in Organo dried the area. The fief was wold to Federico della Scala in 1307.

The current "comune" was created in 1929 by the merger of Gazzo and Correzzo, the municipal set being moved to the "frazione" of Roncanova in the occasion.
