Pipin, son of Charles, gifted the entire zone to the monastery of St. Procolo, near S. Zeno in Verona.

In the 12th century Chievo had a church, a hospital and a stronghold in which Federico Barbarossa spent some nights.

Around 1450 the entire village was moved about 100 metres (328 ft) nearer to the city where the climate was healthier and vegetation more gorgeous.

In 1892 the ten church bells were cast, and are still rung today in the style of the Veronese bellringing art.

Nowadays it is owned by INPS (Italian national social security institute) and in a state of disrepair.
