Image - Verona Arena
Place
Verona Arena
Luca:No, this is not the Colosseum, but you were very close! This gigantic piece of Roman architecture is situated in 'Piazza Bra' and is truly unmissable... like, it is gigantic. From June to September the 'Arena' hosts the famous 'Arena Opera Festival', featuring famous operas such as Orff’s Carmina Burrana and Rossini’s Il Barbiere di Siviglia...to name just a few.

Place
Juliet's House
Luca:Only a few hundred meters away from Piazza delle Erbe, Juliet’s balcony is the main reason most tourists flock to Verona, also known as 'The City of Love'. Shakespeare did indeed take inspiration for his famous play from a true story of family rivalry, forbidden love and feuding, all of which happened in Verona during the 1300s.

It's also Italy's largest lake, reaching from the steep alpine foothills to the northern edge of the Po Valley. The southern shore is lined by beaches and backed by low hills, while in the north, mountains and sheer cliffs fringe the lake, especially along the western shore.
