The Heart of Verona…. The Family Trip - Part 3

"Travel is like any other addiction: the more of it you've had, the more of it you need" - Tony Wheeler

Welcome to Episode 20: Verona, Veneto

The day began with a large yellow Mimosa heart wreath in the middle of the Corso Porto Nuova.  And that pretty much sets the stage for a day of exploring the Veneto town of Verona.  The star crossed lovers, the myth and the magic of Romeo and Juliet and the legacy of the della Scala family,  the Scalageri in the Piazza del Signori and beyond.   The Romanesque architecture, the castle walls, the grand palazzi on the River Adige, the Roman ruins, the pristine vicolo to wander along with a gelato in hand admiring the homes of terra-cotta, lemon and sienna, and the ivy falling from wrought iron balconies all made for a delightful day exploring this fabulous city. 

Enjoy, See You Next time with Florence and Lucca, Italy.........
