Itinerario

1. The Arena of Verona is, together with Juliet's house, the monument for which the city is famous in Italy and worldwide. It is the third largest Roman amphitheatre after the Colosseum and the Arena of Capua. It can hold about 20,000 people, which is believed to have been the entire population of Verona in the 1st century AD, the period when the monument was built.

2. The house is a severe medieval building with a 13th-century layout, its brick façade refined by elegant three-lobed windows. At the front stands the famous balcony from which, according to tradition, Juliet looked out to talk to her Romeo.

   1 h

3. A monumental tomb, majestic and scenic, which for over seven hundred years has housed the mortal remains of the ancient Lords of Verona. Here rest the Princes of the Della Scala family, with their elaborate equestrian sculptures rising towards the sky as if in an endless petrified tournament.

   1 h

4. Built in the first century B.C. to replace a pre-existing wooden bridge, Ponte Pietra is the oldest Roman monument in Verona and perhaps also the most impressive. It joined the original route of the Via Postumia with the hill in front of it at a ford, used since the dawn of time.

About Padua

Padua is a university city in the Veneto, home to Giotto's frescoed Scrovegni Chapel, a pilgrimage basilica to Saint Anthony and a huge oval square.

The Scrovegni Chapel, frescoed by Giotto around 1305, is Padua's best-known treasure, and it belongs to a group of fourteenth-century fresco cycles that UNESCO has listed together. The Basilica of Saint Anthony, with its domes and the saint's tomb, draws pilgrims from across the world. The Prato della Valle, an oval square ringed by a canal and a circle of statues, is among the largest in Europe.
