The Arena and its comet star | Arena an the comet star placed in winter |
The Arena, a roman amphitheatre wich is nearly 2,000 years old, is maybe the most known symbol of Verona..... after Romeo & Juliet, of course! It is still used for a famous open air opera festival (from the end of june to the end august) and other concerts. But, please, do not call it a "coloseum".... That's the name of the amphitheare Flavius of Rome. The comet star arrives every year before Xmas...!
A little about me. I'm married with Laura, and we have no children. I found VT a few years ago, and was't able to leave it anymore. And i found lots of interesting people (even more than places) all around the travel & miscellaneous forums. |
|  | There are lots of good Verona tips of VTrs from all over the world. To look at my little picture collection, please check my homepage.
Every now and then, i will add a couple of tip or two, trying to highlight something that, in my opinion, deserves it..
Ciao a tutti!

|  | A river, a few bridges and a lot of churches The historical center of Verona is sourrounded from threee sides by the river Adige... You cand find it everywhere... like, of course, a lot of bridges (most are modern, but one roman and one medeval). And churches of every age everywhere. Many are real jewels of architecture. In the picture, a sample of one of all those elements. The church is the "Duomo", a romanesque facade and a bell tower of a quite different style |
