Polada culture
The Polada culture (22nd to 16th centuries BCE) is the name for a culture of the ancient Bronze Age which spread primarily in the territory of modern-day Lombardy, Veneto and Trentino, characterized by settlements on pile-dwellings. The name derives from the small Polada peat bog (Stagno della Polada) in Lombardy, between Lonato del Garda, Menasasso, and Desenzano del Garda.
