Verona, city with more than two millenia of history, is today the second city of Veneto for the liveliness and solidity of its economic activities and it's a renowned tourist destination. Historical and cultural patrimony of UNESCO, has bewitched painters, poets, travellers and famous people of every age.
The sweet bends of Adige river that crosses it and the hills that encircle it from the northern side of it defines the beauty and the landscape harmony. Favoured from its geographic positioning, it probably had already a reto-Etruscan nucleus, but the first certain news go back to IVth century b.C. In the roman age it was a political and trade center of great relevance, of which today we see its magnificent traces, from the Arena to the Roman Theatre, from the Gavi's Arch to Porta Borsari, from the archaeological area of Porta dei Leoni to the one of the Scaliger's excavation site. This area, situated in the city centre, two steps from Piazza Erbe, became during the Middle Ages center of the political and administrative power and in it they are harmoniously fused the remains of different ages: from the roman remains to the great palaces of XVIIIth and XIXth century, passing through the medieval architecture bloomed under the lordship of the Scaligeri and the Renaissance one.
Walking between the alleys an unexpected harmony of various historical ages bewitches at every step: the traces of the pompous roman origins, the defined medieval print and its scaliger knights, the huge renaissance palaces, along with the imposing fortifications protecting it. An harmony of suggestions that fascinates and bewitches all the year.
