Verona Review is a web guide to the Italian city of Verona, written exclusively in English. The aim of the site is to highlight the city's most interesting places with hundreds of original photos, providing ideas and inspiration to new visitors. Situated in the Northern Italian region of Veneto, Verona has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since the year 2000, recognised for its monuments from the Classic, Medieval and Renaissance periods. Major sights include the Verona Arena, a Roman Amphitheatre built in AD 30 and there are many other monuments from this period including the City Gates. The city is also blessed with wonderful Squares including Piazza Bra, Piazza dei Signori and Piazza delle Erbe while two of its bridges, Ponte Scaligero (or Castelvecchio Bridge) and Ponte Pietra are among the most scenic in the whole country. There are dozens of great Museums and Art Galleries and it's impossible to ignore the heritage of Romeo and Juliet which courses through the centre, leading many people to consider this the "City of Love". The website is growing but has a long way to go as we aim to make it an invaluable resource for visitors to the city. With that in mind we call out to Verona specialists to share their knowledge of the city so if that applies to you please drop us a line at info@italyreview.com to get involved.
HERE'S SOME OF WHAT YOU CAN FIND ON VERONA REVIEW!
VERONA PHOTO BLOGTo many people Verona is known as the "City of Love" and there are several reminders of this around the city. Perhaps the place where this is most keenly felt is the Casa di Giulietta (Juliet's House). Now this is obviously not where Juliet really lived as she's a fictional character but it has become a place where people come to demonstrate their love in various ways. There's a statue of "Juliet" that people touch with the hope of being blessed with love, the (again fictitious) balcony where Juliet stood as Romeo professed his love, a mural of love graffiti which you can add to and also this wall of padlocks where couples can seal their love for eternity.
