Marked by history, Verona recounts with its architecture the succession of various dominations: from the Roman settlement, to the age of the communes, to the age of the Scaliger Seigniory and on to the Venetian and Habsburg dominations.
In the central Piazza Bra, the Arena, the Roman amphitheatre that for decades has hosted the prestigious summer opera season and many concerts, stands out grandly.
Nearby is Juliet’s House, with its famous balcony, which welcomes thousands of visitors every year fascinated by the story of Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers of Shakespeare’s famous tragedy.
Walking around the Piazza delle Erbe, then, mingling with the people who animate the colourful city market every day, is a very pleasant experience.
And to step back in time, to the heyday of the Scaligera Seigniory, just go to Piazza dei Signori and admire the majestic palaces, the Loggia and Palazzo della Ragione.
The Duomo, with its famous Titian altarpiece, and not far away the Basilica of Santa Anastasia and the Roman Theatre are definitely worth a visit.
Also not to be missed are a visit to the Basilica of San Zeno, a fascinating example of Romanesque architecture, and Castelvecchio, the ancient 14th century manor house that now houses the Museo Civico.

Verona should be experienced through art and architecture: strolling through the palaces, churches and squares.
Verona is a journey through history, culture… and love.

Verona da mangiare…..

In addition to various typical dishes (among others, ‘bollito con la pearà’ or ‘pastissada de caval’), the Veronese territory offers genuine, quality products, from Vialone Nano rice, the only one in Italy to bear the European Protected Geographical Indication mark, to Monte Veronese cheese, to Garda extra virgin olive oil.
Products that become ingredients in exquisite recipes and that go perfectly with the D.O.C. wines of the area: Bardolino from the Garda Riviera, the wines of Soave and Valpolicella, as well as the famous Amarone.
