Verona can be considered the second most important city of art after Venice in the Veneto region.
Of Palo-Venetian origin, Verona was inhabited by the Retii people, later became an Etruscan dwelling and finally by 89 b.C. Roman.
In Middle age became a very important centre under the role of Scaligeri and after under the Republic of Venice.
Verona has mainly medieval features, but where it is possible to look down on the city from a height, a Roman urban structure can still be seen in its regular and direct street, buildings...so different by the random and confused Medieval structures. What impress the visitors from the first sight is the incredible number of expressions of art, history and culture grouped in one single city.
The Roman remains are a must for tourist: the Arena, the Arco dei Gavi, the Ponte Pietra, the Porta dei Borsari, the Porta dei Leoni and the Teatro Romano.
The Arena is about 2000 years old and is one of the biggest monuments of ancient Rome. Built in the first century a.C, it was situated outside the walls housing wrestling matches. Since 1913 when was staged the first  “Aida”, it has become the most famous outdoor theatre on the international scene.

Among the holy buildings deserve a visit the Dome, the Church of San Zeno Maggiore and the Cathedral: true masterpieces of the Romanesque art. Monuments rich with sculptures and paintings amongst which the altar-piece of San Zeno by Andrea Mantegna and the altar-piece of the Assunta by the famous Tiziano.

The charm of the Loggia del Consiglio, attributed to Fra’Giocondo, the beautiful palaces and doors by Michele Sanmicheli are just some of the many examples of the flourishing of Renaissance in this area.
