Verona’s city walls have been moved outwards on more than one occasion, but for the purpose of this book, centro storico means the original extent of the Roman city enclosed within the bend of the river Adige, west as far as the original reach of the city walls at Porta BorsariClick Here for More

South of the centro storico

At the other end of via Mazzini from the enormous spread of piazza Erbe, piazza Bra forms an alternative centrepiece to the city, with the huge amphitheatre of the Arena dominating it. To the west, Castelvecchio has all the attributes you’d wish for in a castle, plus a great bridge and an i .... Click Here for More

North and east of the Adige

The sprawling narrow streets of Verona’s left bank are known as Veronetta. This is the area that was controlled by Austria after the city was divided in 1801. It was also the area worst affected by the floods of 1882, which destroyed many of its houses and mills and prompte .... Click Here for More

Castel San Felice and the city walls

Near the top of via Fontana del Ferro a worn path along a grassy track branches off to the right. About 150 m up this path there is a t-junction, with paths heading off left and right along the northern section of city wall. This is an area of olive groves which reaches right down into Veronetta .... Click Here for More

Soave and the southern plains

The white wine area of Soave, to the east of Verona, centres around the attractive walled town of Soave itself, complete with the obligatory Scaligeri castle, narrow winding medieval streets and wine bars. To the south of the city, beyond its sprawling industrial area, towns are liberally sprink .... Click Here for More

Vicenza

Some of Italy’s finest and most influential Renaissance architecture, much of it built by Palladio is in the beautiful, compact, UNESCO-listed, pedestrianized centre of Vicenza. Only just over half an hour by train from Verona it makes an excellent day trip. From the statio .... Click Here for More

Mantova

Almost entirely surrounded by water, Mantova, 35 km south of Verona, is an attractive and evocative place, at least around the network of piazzas that make up the centre of the city. The city has origins deep in the past, with prehistoric settlements beside its lakes. At the end of the first mil .... Click Here for More

Brescia

Often regarded as an industrial city, an economic powerhouse, and a pallid younger sibling to Milan, Brescia is often passed through, but seldom stopped in, which is a shame – the city has an unexpectedly attractive centre, as well as some excellent restaurants. Its celebrated fascist archi .... Click Here for More
