Verona - City Sites





Verona was our favorite city.



Life seemed more simple...


and serene.







This bridge, originally built with white marble by the Romans,

was bombed out during World War II.

The people of Verona loved the bridge so much that

they salvaged as much of the original marble as they could

and rebuilt the bridge.



This entrance lead Romero past love notes...




to Juliette's balcony

(pure fiction! not to mention the balcony built in 1934)



Inside the castle doors.



And out the back door.






These Renaissance stairs originally lead to nowhere


so a "more modern" building was built around them.






The whale rib has supposedly hung in this arch for
thousands of years, which will fall only when someone
who has never lied walks under it.
