Verona
a first glimpse of the city is love at first sight, and will
entice you to come back and explore it thoroughly.
For the past two thousand years and more, the city walls enclose
a unique and breathtaking range of art-works and monuments.
Recently awarded the status of a "World Heritage Site", Verona
has delighted painters, poets, travellers and celebrities for
centuries.
Verona is a work of art in itself: a fascinating cross-roads of
historical periods and cultures (both classical and Germanic), a
blend of both Nordic and "Mediterranean" influences; the city is
at the same time both ancient and modern.
A walk through its narrow streets allows you to get in touch
with its varied and fascinating past: traces of its splendid
Roman origins, its prevailing medieval structure dating back to
the time of knights and castles, its magnificent Renaissance
palaces as well as the impressive fortifications which protect
it.
A suggestive blend of art and history which continuously
fascinates the onlooker.
