A look at Italy's "City of Love" with 50 Pictures of Verona including Venetian Gothic and Romanesque architecture, cathedrals, frescos, statues, piazzas and bridges with stunning views.
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene for this weeks Pictures of Italy gallery over 2,000 years of romance and drama have graced the banks of the River Adige. A UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to a remarkable number of well-preserved antiquity, medieval, and Renaissance monuments, Verona is among the best examples of how Italy just gets it right. Ancient monuments are elegantly balanced with a vibrant combination of fairs, plays, and concerts. Were Shakespeare with us today, it’s a fair bet he would still place Romeo and Juliet in Verona.

As Juliet so famously says “My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep. The more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite.” And so in the bountiful spirit of Juliet’s love I give to thee 50 pictures of fair Verona.
