You are on the point of visiting with me a traditional veneto city, a palladian villa and a medieval castle in Padua, Verona or Vicenza. These are still characteristic landmarks of the Veneto history, culture and traditions. Vicenza, Verona and Padua are in fact lively places with local people going to work, shopping in the outdoor markets or just hanging out for a coffee or spritz. Here I can accompany you to live the local life, enjoy a visit of their unique landmarks on a short walk or have a typical eating experience. Vicenza, the city where I live, is known as the palladian city with 18 palladian buildings. The Teatro Olimpico is an example of this. It is the oldest classical theater in the world, built in 1585 inside a medieval castle. You can see its endless perspectives, you can sit down on its original wooden auditorium or still hear the same acoustics as in the first performance held on the 3rd of March 1585. In Padua you can still walk around the same medieval city that existed when the University was founded in 1222, when the Basilica of Saint Anthony was erected in 1231 and when the Scrovegni chapel was built in 1305. In the Scrovegni chapel, for instance, you can still see the original frescoes painted in 1305 by Giotto, who humanized the divine. The Renaissance begins with these frescoes and in them, you can see Giotto's self-representation and his use of perspective something completely new for the medieval ages. Verona, yes, the city of Romeo and Juliet, but above all, the most roman city in the Veneto. Here you can see the unique roman arena, the roman bridge, the roman theatre, medieval castles and tombs and discover the medieval city where the most famous two lovers lived time ago.

Overview of your Verona tour

An unexpected rainbow of colors unfolds when you reach Verona: blue is reflected in the skies and in the Adige river, and warm brown earth tones embrace terracotta campaniles, white towers and frescoed façades. This painter's paradise beckons us to enter its enchanted landscape mingled with history and legend, where past and present coincide, and where Romeo and Juliet still wander the streets hand in hand. . . All right, are you still looking for love? I will give you the "legend", the so called Juliet's house. Romeo's house. Yes, there is also his house. Love is easy to find in Verona. Do you prefer flesh and blood stories? I do. You will get them learning of Cangrande della Scala solemnly guarding his tomb on his horse, reflecting a century of success and conquest; in Piazza dei Signori, an exiled Dante thoughtfully reconsiders his life's work; and, in Piazza Brà, the magnificent and beautiful Arena - comparable to the Colosseum - echoes vestiges of Ancient Rome: war and art.
