VERONA
..A JUMP IN THE HISTORY!
Ponte Pietra
A beatiful stone bridge built in the 1st century B.C.
During the World War II, the Germans destroyed all
the bridges in Verona but some of them (like this
one) were restored.
Juliet’s House
Actually long time
ago, in Verona, there
was a family called
Capello and it was
very rich, because it
was a merchant
family specialised in
wool and textiles. We
don’t know, if they
had a daughter called
Juliet, but a balcony is
still there.
THE SCALIGERIS’ GRAVES
The Scaligeris’ Graves were built in the XVI century A.D. by Dalla Scala family.
They’re composed by Cansignorio, Mastino II and Cangrande’s graves. They’re
near Piazza dei Signori. Under Cangrande’s grave there is a chapel that was of
property of Dalla Scala family, now it’s free for the public as well. Currently the
ladder is the symbol of Verona and its football team .
OLD ROMAN FORUM
In Italian, Piazza delle Erbe, it
was the Roman forum
and it was the political
and economical center.
The most important
monuments in this
square are the statue of
“Madonna Verona”, the
Town Hall palace and the
Lamberti tower.
THE ARENA
The Arena is the biggest building in Italy,
more than the Colosseum. It was built
in the 1st century A.D. by the Romans
and in the past there were fights
between men and lions. Now there are
many festivals, concerts and operas.
Inside there are some entrances that
are called “vomitatoi”.
