VERONA Italy

Roman Arena, Verona Italy
Within Verona is a medieval city and the Adige River in northern Italy's Veneto region. Shakespeare made the city famous for Juliet's house and balcony--there's a small statue in his honour.

The Roman arena is massive and dates from the first century. It is in current use for concerts and opera.

The gelato was excellent, but we were shooed off the nearby mission steps where we stopped to rest and refresh on a hot afternoon.







We exited Verona over the Adige River via the picturesque old 120 metre Stone Bridge (Ponte Pietra; 100 BCE). Germans blew up the bridge in World War II, but it was rebuilt in 1957 with original materials.
