Borghetto is a town in the province of Verona which stands on a ford of the river Mincio. In medieval times it was used as a toll booth. Thanks to the Visconti (dukes of Milan) the village acquired importance and a defensive wall was built around the town. The Duke of Milan, in a dispute with the Gonzagas in Mantua, decided to build a dam to divert the Mincio river and finally dry up the lakes around Mantua. The project failed and a wooden bridge over the Mincio was built instead.

Borghetto is a district of Valeggio. Translated, Borghetto means "small village." It lies on both banks of the Mincio River below the Visconti Bridge. Borghetto was once a fishing village. It has developed into a popular tourist destination, home to various restaurants and bars. The watermills, some of which are still in operation, are noteworthy. The two districts on the river are connected by a wooden bridge. In the eastern part stands an 18th-century church dedicated to St. Mark the Evangelist. It was built on the remains of an older Romanesque church from the 11th century.
