Blooms born in front of an ancient arena | Spring comes in colour to Piazza Bra |
We spent a three night weekend in Verona for my fortieth birthday in Spring 2008. Photo opportunities abound in the picturesque Centro Storico, this struck me as timeless, these buds seeing the light of day that April in front of the first century Roman Arena at Piazza Bra. |
| Ponte Nuovo on the Adige; Castel San Pietro uphill |
|  | More of the young and the old This is Ponte Nuovo pictured from the Ponte Navi over the river Adige, looking towards the hilltop Castel San Pietro. Verona is a compact and lively smaller city with a population around 225 000. Ancient remains stand witness to several generations of young people studying at its Universitta |
| The statue of Berto Barbarani observes Piazza Erbe |

The poet Berto Barbani (1872 -1945) best known for his Opera di Novello Finotti......apparently....wrote in the dialect of the Veneto and his statue sits atop Via Capello observing the marketsbars and ristorante of Piazza Erbe, the flip side of a city centre focus along with Piazza Bra |
