The town's name derives from the Latin word "Rivulus" (small river). Municipality in the province of Verona, on the right bank of the Adige river, at the foot of Mount Baldo, it is located within the area famous for its ​​ Valdadige DOC wine production, this facilitated by the mild climate and a particular position, at the center of a natural amphitheater formed by hills sloping down to the flat area. A major income for the city's economy comes from tourism, as Monte Baldo and Lake Garda with their resorts and in the nearby.
The area was inhabited since Prehistoric times, as evidenced by the presence of significant traces, that have come down to us: The first permanent settlements, instead, date back to the Neolithic period. As a necessary step for those who wanted to reach the rest of Europe from North Italy, the Romans passed a very important road artery: the Via Claudia Augusta. It was the scenario of the clash between the forces of Napoleon and the Austrians, in the late XVIII century and later of the historic campaign of Italy during the War of Independence, between the Austrians and the people of Piedmont.
