VERONA - ITALY | TRAVEL VLOG OF THE BEST THINGS TO DO IN VERONA [1/2]

VERONA - ITALY | TRAVEL VLOG OF THE BEST THINGS TO DO IN VERONA
VERONA! ROMEO AND JULIET, THE ARENA, PIAZZA ERBE, STONE BRIDGE, CASTEL SAN PIETRO CASTELVECCHIO, ARE JUST SOME OF THE THINGS YOU CAN SEE IN THE TOWN OF SCALIGERA, SINCE 2000 WORLD HERITAGE OF UNESCO. A CITY FULL OF CHARM AND VITALITY, IT OFFERS THE POSSIBILITY TO MAKE BEAUTIFUL EXCURSIONS IN THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS, FROM LAKE GARDA TO THE MOUNTAINS OF TRENTINO.
HERB PIAZZA:
THE COLUMN OF SAN MARCO - PALAZZO MAFFEI AND ITS MUSEUM - THE TOWER OF GARDELLO, WITH THE OLDEST BELL CLOCK IN VERONA - THE STATUE OF THE POET BERTO BARBARANI FROM VERONA - THE FOUNTAIN WITH THE STATUE OF MADONNA VERONA, SYMBOL OF THE CITY - THE STATUE OF THE ITALIC CIVILIZATION
SEAT OF THE PALACES OF THE POLITICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE LIFE OF VERONA UNDER WHICH ONE OF THE LARGEST URBAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL AREAS IN ITALY IS LOCATED!
THE STAIRCASE OF REASON, A WORK OF ART OF THE VENETIAN PERIOD, LEADS FIRST TO THE MODERN ART GALLERY ACHILLE FORTI AND FROM HERE TO THE WONDERFUL CHAPEL OF THE NOTARIES, ANOTHER MASTERPIECE OF VERONA THAT REPRESENTS EPISODES FROM THE LIFE OF SAN ZENO (PATRON SAINT OF VERONA) AND SAN DANIELE. RIGHT NEXT DOOR STANDS THE TOWER OF THE LAMBERTI, BUILT IN THE 13TH CENTURY. FROM ITS 84 METRES OF HEIGHT YOU CAN ENJOY A PRICELESS VIEW OF THE CITY OF VERONA AND THE SURROUNDING AREA.
PALACE OF THE PODESTA
RESIDENCE OF THE LORDS OF VERONA WHERE ILLUSTRIOUS MEN WERE HOSTED, INCLUDING GIOTTO AND DANTE ALIGHIERI, WHO LIVED IN VERONA FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS, THAT IS A GOOD PART OF HIS EXILE FROM FLORENCE
DANTE WAS NOT ONLY A GREAT POET, BUT ALSO A POLITICIAN WHO HELD PRESTIGIOUS POSITIONS. HOWEVER, POLITICAL ACTIVITY BECAME HIS GREATEST WORRY.
IN 1865 A STATUE OF A DANTE 3 METRES HIGH WAS PLACED IN THE PIAZZA DEI SIGNORI: FROM THAT MOMENT ON THE SQUARE IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE PIAZZA DANTE
BEHIND THE PALACE OF THE PODESTA IS THE SMALL ROMANESQUE CHURCH OF SANTA MARIA ANTICA, WHICH WAS THE PRIVATE CHAPEL OF THE SCALIGERI, IN WHOSE COURTYARD THE SCALIGER ARCHWAYS RISE, A FUNERARY COMPLEX THAT IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF GOTHIC SCULPTURE IN ITALY, WHERE SOME REPRESENTATIVES OF THE SCALA FAMILY ARE BURIED
JULIET HOUSE
THE ARCH AND THE WALLS AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE COURTYARD OF THE HOUSE OF GIULIETTA HAVE RECENTLY BEEN CLEANED, AND ALL THE TICKETS AND LOVE DEDICATIONS LEFT BY VISITORS, WHICH COVERED THE WALLS ENTIRELY, HAVE BEEN REMOVED! TODAY A NOTICE INFORMS VISITORS THAT IT IS FORBIDDEN TO SOAK THE WALLS AND THAT OFFENDERS WILL BE PUNISHED WITH A FINE OF 3,000 EUROS OR EVEN 1 YEAR IN PRISON!
THE BUILDING DATES BACK TO THE XIII CENTURY. AND WAS LONG OWNED BY THE HAT FAMILY. THE MEDIEVAL HOUSE WAS RESTORED IN THE MID-THIRTIES BY ANTONIO AVENA, DIRECTOR OF THE CIVIC MUSEUMS OF VERONA, WHO USED A SLAB OF MARBLE FOUND IN THE COURTYARD OF CASTELVECCHIO TO REBUILD THE FAMOUS BALCONY.
IN THE COURTYARD THERE IS A COPY OF THE STATUE OF GIULIETTA. THE ORIGINAL WAS VERY WORN BY THE CONTINUOUS TOUCH OF VISITORS. IN FACT ACCORDING TO THE LEGEND IF YOU TOUCH THE BREAST OF THE STATUE OF GIULIETTA YOU WILL FIND TRUE LOVE!
THE HOUSE OF GIULIETTA HAS RECENTLY BEEN USED FOR TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS AND HAS BECOME ONE OF THE SUGGESTIVE VENUES THAT THE CITY MAKES AVAILABLE TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM FOR THE CELEBRATION OF THEIR WEDDING.
THE TOMB OF GIULIETTA
IS LOCATED IN THE CONVENT OF S. FRANCESCO AL CORSO, WHICH ALSO HOUSES THE MUSEUM OF FRESCOES, ANOTHER LOCATION MADE AVAILABLE TO LOVERS BY THE TOWN OF VERONA TO CELEBRATE THEIR WEDDING. IN THE UNDERGROUND CRYPT IS THE SARCOPHAGUS WHICH, ACCORDING TO TRADITION, HOUSED THE LIFELESS BODY OF GIULIETTA. ACTUALLY, THERE IS STILL THE PAW OF ANTONIO AVENA, WHO SET UP THE PLACE WITH THE AIM OF FEEDING THE SHAKESPEARIAN LEGEND, MAKING IT A POINT OF TOURIST ATTRACTION
THE PROVINCE OF VERONESE IS THE FIRST IN ITALY FOR THE EXPORT OF WINE: MANY ARE THE DOCG AMARONE PRODUCTS OF VALPOLICELLA, RECIOTO DELLA VALPOLICELLA AND SOAVE, SOAVE SUPERIORE AND BARDOLINO SUPERIORE, IN THE AREAS AROUND THE CITY, LUGANA, RIPASSO, CUSTOZA, ALL WINES THAT HAVE MADE THE AREA OF VERONA FAMOUS IN THE WORLD, BUT THE PECULIARITY IS THAT THE VINEYARDS ARE NOT ONLY IN THE SURROUNDINGS OF VERONA, THEY ARE ALSO IN THE CITY!
