The route that begins here, from Piazza Erbe to the Campane, follows the layout of the foundation plan of Roman Verona along the line of the right decumanus, upon which the grid of the Gothic urban blocks was later superimposed. The next stretch, from the Campane to Piazza Bra formerly called Via Nuova was opened toward the end of the 14th century during the Visconti domination of the city.

In Roman urban planning, a decumanus was an eastwest-oriented road in a Roman city or castrum (military camp). The main decumanus of a particular city was the decumanus maximus, or most often simply "the decumanus". In the rectangular street grid of the typical Roman city plan, the decumanus was crossed by the perpendicular cardo, a northsouth street.(Submitted on February 11, 2026, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
