Motorhome Hire in Verona, Italy
“There is no world without Verona’s walls but purgatory, torture, hell itself” quotes the south gate (Portone della Bra) of Verona from Shakespeare. A little bit harsh on the rest of the world perhaps, but the high esteem in which “Urbs Nobilissma” is held is not unjustifed. Verona is a romantic city of medieval walls and love stories, most famously, of course, Shakespeare’s own Romeo and Juliet, and it is ever popular as a honeymoon destination and weekend getaway.
Following Shakespeare’s theme, one of Verona’s most famous attractions is Juliet’s House, with the famous balcony from which Juliet spoke to Romeo in Shakespeare’s play. Nearby is the Casa Montecchi, popularly held to be the home of Romeo.
If you come to Verona, one of the must-sees is the Roman Amphitheatre (The Arena, as it’s locally called). If you come in summer, it will also be a “must-hear” if you are lucky – operas are performed there every summer still. The Palazzo Barbieri is another, the 1800s town hall in the Piazza del Erbe, the heart of Verona.
The centre of Verona is charming and upmarket, with it’s pedestrian streets and boutiques for the holiday-maker to amble around, interspersed with monuments and remains of ancient buildings that suddenly remind one that Verona was once part of the mighty Roman Empire that dominated Europe. Another good example of how Verona has continually reinvented itself through the ages stands in the Piazza del Erbe; the Madonna Verona Fountain. The fountain itself was the work of Cansignorio in 1368, but the beautiful Madonna sculpture was from ancient Rome, a lady or even goddess that was converted into the Christian figure.
Outside Verona lies, not purgatory, torture and hell itself, but rather the rest of Italy. Verona’s greatest rival Venice will be another likely stop for you!
