Italian Courses in Verona
Verona (population est. 260,000), is an ancient town, an episcopal see and a province in Veneto, Italy, on the shores of the Adige River and near to those of the Lake Garda. Verona is famous for its Roman amphitheatre, the Arena where opera is now performed in the summer months. The Arena (whose shape and use immediately recall the Roman Colosseum) was built around the half of the 1st century AD on a site which at the time was out of the urban walls.
The ludi (shows and games) played in it were so famous that spectators came to Verona for them from many other (sometimes very distant) places. The amphitheatre could host more than 30,000 spectators, and the most requested events were gladiators' fights (against lions too). The round façade was originally in white and pink limestone from Valpolicella, but during the Middle Ages the Arena was used as a sort of quarry for other buildings. The first interventions to recover its functionality as a theatre were started during the Renaissance.
Verona is the setting of the story of Romeo and Juliet, made famous by William Shakespeare. Although the earliest version of the story is set in Siena, not Verona - the move was made in Luigi da Porto's Istoria novellamente ritrovata di due Nobili Amanti - a balcony falsely claiming historical connection to the fictional lovers has become a tourist attraction for lovers nowadays, with tons of love graffiti beneath it.
