Verona is a province located in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The area has a rich history that dates back to ancient times. The city of Verona itself was founded by the ancient tribes of the Euganei and later became a Roman colony in the 1st century BC.

During the Roman period, Verona thrived as an important trade center and military hub. It later came under the rule of various powers, including the Ostrogoths and Lombards, before becoming part of the Republic of Venice. Throughout history, Verona played a crucial role in the political and cultural development of the region.
