Verona​

Dubbed the "City of Love" ever since Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was set here, Verona is one of the jewels of the Veneto. 

Although much of its fame is derived from a host of medieval sights such as the Castelvecchio Bridge or fine squares like Piazza Bra and Piazza delle Erbe, it is to Roman times that its most famous building belongs. 

Standing at the heart of the city, Verona Arena is one of the best preserved monuments from antiquity.
