What you'll do

1. 1

   The city of Verona is known worldwide for Romeo and Juliet legend and for the opera season which takes place on summer evenings in the magnificent scenery of a Roman amphitheater. Verona is primarily a beautiful city of art, located at the foot of the last offshoots of the Alps. The town is crossed by the second longest Italian river, the Adige, that descends from the Alpine valleys into the Adriatic sea. The city has important monuments: Roman Amphitheater, Theaters, walls and gates, and also beautiful Romanesque and Gothic churches (San Zeno, the Cathedral, St. Anastasia, St. Fermo, Santa Maria Antica with the "Arche Scaligere"). We can find interesting public buildings (ancient palaces around Piazza Erbe, Piazza Dante and Castelvecchio now the Civic art Museum) and private especially of the Renaissance period, due to the genius of Michele Sammicheli, and other architects. Verona is known as the second art city of the Veneto region just after Venice.

   The Valpolicella is located in the province of Verona, north west of the city, close to the reliefs in between Verona and the Adige Valley near Lake Garda, with whom the Valpolicella has in common, thanks to the sun exposure and mild temperatures, an almost Mediterranean climate and a gentle landscape of vineyards and olive groves, dotted with cypress trees. The Valpolicella is not a single valley, but an integrated set of three major valleys almost parallel and sloping from north to south (those of Negrar, Marano and Fumane), forming an area of undulating hills, gentle slopes, of small gathered hollows, ranging from 80m above sea level along the river Adige, to 1540mt of the watershed from Trentino region. The landscape has evocative variety of panoramas. The underground sedimentary rocks allowed, since ancient times, the extraction and the processing of Verona marble and Prun Stone, also used for the construction of the ancient buildings of Verona, Venice, and other Italian cities.
