arena - house of Juliette - Roman forum
Verona is a colorful and charming city which has always inspired poets since the ancient times, such as Shakespeare, Carducci or artists such as Veronese, Palladio, Tiepolo. La Piazza delle Erbe, which occupies the ancient place of the Roman Forum, is the real heart of the city.
Surrouded by ancient buildings and towers, in the center of the square, in addition to the fifteenth-century Market Column, stands a splendid marble shrine of the sixteenth century.
If we talk about Verona, we certainly cannot forget the Arena, built in the first century AD and which hosts the great local opera season in the summer months.
We neither can miss the castle of Montecchio and the balcony which inspired the story of Romeo and Juliette and so attracts thousands of tourists every year.
