I was up early and went on a fast walk through Verona this morning before stores opened. I crossed the River at the Roman bridge, Ponte Pietra, then walked to the next bridge to cross back into the city. Over the course of the day, I walked 11 miles. This is our third time in Verona and we love it! The wealth of the 1100’s-1400’s is on full display with Verona’s UNESCO status well deserved.
Verona is on the Adige River with approximately 260,000 residents. Verona is a tourist destination, primarily due to the Roman Arena and two of Shakespeare’s plays are set in Verona: Romeo and Juliet and Two Gentlemen of Verona. Verona has a history of give and take with various families rising and falling in power, and family members turning on each other. The architecture of the old city is a mix of styles, with the wealth of the original homeowners on full display in their palazzos, statuary, and marble sidewalks. Verona is a beautiful city.
