Verona, city of art and history.
Close to Lake Garda, Verona is a city of rare beauty, set back against the hills to the north and laid out harmoniously along the smooth curves of the Adige river. Founded as a commercial and political town in Roman times, traces of this period remain with the massive Arena, the Roman theatre, the Gavi Arch and the Borsari gate, as well as the archeological area of Porta Leoni and that of the Scaligeri excavations. Large sections of the ancient walls are still standing and they bear witness - along with the monumental gates and other fortifications - to the strategic importance of the city. Yet, the whole centre of Verona is well worth visiting, with its rich collections of churches and palaces. Crowds flock to the house and tomb of Juliet, whose tragic love-story with Romeo was immortalised by William Shakespeare. Verona is also full of prestigious cultural institutions, from the ancient Civic Capitolare Library to the university and the oldest Music academy in the world. The Fondazione Arena has been producing stunning opera productions for its 15,000 capacity audience for over a hundred years, and every summer an international crowd packs the open-air theatre to cheer each performance.
