context_page_description: San Rocco di Piegara is a frazione of Roverè Veronese which is one of the 13 ancient Cimbrian towns. Roverè Veronese has been an autonomous municipality since the 14th century.
context_section_description: Worthy of note is the production of hiking boots and mountaineering footwear, entrusted to three factories of different dimensions: an ancient art wisely handed on until the advent of modern technology applied also to stylistic choices equally innovative and sophisticated materials which are constantly evolving. Considered to be important activities are those related to the building industry: civil and road construction and earthmoving companies and others of craftmen such as masons, carpenters, painters, electricians and plumbers.
  Agriculture consists not only in traditional products such as chestnuts or cherries but also in new crops and innovative techniques such as strawberries in hydroponic cultivation. The abundant presence of flowering lawns and fruit trees promotes beekeeping and honey production.
  The cattle is intended mainly for the production of milk, but some farmers have recently embarked on the sales activities of organic meat.
  The hilly position of the village and its vocation to summer holiday spot allowed the nearby places a development in tourism (hotels, restaurants, 'agriturismi').
