Itinerary

1. 1

   Arena di Verona

   1h

   This impressive amphitheatre, located in the centre of Verona in Piazza Bra, was probably built at the half of the 1st century A.D.. In the late Imperial age it was included within the city walls and even served as a knifed of fortress during the Barbaric invasions. In the medieval age, like many ancient monuments, it was severely damaged by the common habit of reusing its building materials for new purposes, but starting from the 15th century the building was considered a major heritage, defended by further damages and gradually restored. Today, the Arena hosts a wide variety of international premium events: sportive, musical, theatrical.

2. 2

   Casa di Giulietta

   15min

   Actually belonged to the Veronese family Capuleti (even though the correct spelling would be Cappelletti), mentioned by Shakespeare in his most famous tragedy, this mansion went under a deep refitting during the first half of the 20th century. This was meant to bring it back to a possible Renaissance style, since the palace appearance at the end of 19t century was completely different, more similar to a balcony house.
