In terms of the variety of styles, none of which prevails, Verona is unrivalled among Italian cities apart from Rome.
Hill, river, Roman arches next to Gothic arcades...
... they say that Verona is romantic, it is picturesque...
...it's a big city, it's capital and provincial at the same time....
(Quoted by Guido Piovene, Il viaggio in Italia)
In Verona there are Roman ruins and ancient monuments, medieval buildings and Renaissance palaces, all testifying to a thousand years of history. The city walls, the urban layout that has remained intact since Roman times, the characteristic frescoed facades, Erbe and Signori squares where the city life pulsates, all form the backdrop to the romantic legend of the world's most famous lovers, Romeo and Juliet.
Verona is vital, in the past it was the capital of the Germanic kingdom and a crossroads of cultures, and even today it is still an important commercial hub for the north.
For over a century in the Arena passions and dramas of the operas come to life on stage, the music and the "bel canto" resound in the world's largest open air theatre, fascinating thousands and thousands of spectators from all over the globe.
Born and raised in the surroundings of Verona, I studied foreign languages and literature with historical address in the city.
After graduating, I worked in a company in the manufacturing sector for about ten years, I specialized in marketing with a master degree in the U.S., then I travelled the world from east to west. Thanks to this previous experience, I learned about cultures that are far from ours but just as fascinating.
In 2006 I was at a turning point in my life, I qualified as a tour guide in Verona. Since then, I have been regularly attending courses on subjects such as history, art and literature to keep myself up to date.
I recently fell in love with contemporary art, that has opened up new horizons to me.
In my job I tell the story of the city, its art and traditions, I am lucky enough to know a lot of people from many countries, I like to exchange views with those I meet every day, and this teaches me to see Verona with new eyes.
I also like working with children, who experience a constant wonder at what surrounds them.
The city deserves to be visited at a relaxed pace, to savor the atmosphere and take in all its nuances.
Visit Verona early in the morning, at the hour of the first coffee, to wake up with the inhabitants and discover the most authentic Verona.
Take the time to walk with me through the less crowded alleys, to get to know the most charming neighborhoods, such as the Duomo or San Zeno districts, my favourites.
Visit the many museums in Verona, to follow a path from the ancient to the contemporary and observe not only the works but also the details of the installations.
If you have a few days available, I would also suggest visiting the surrounding area, from the land of Amarone, where the renowned tradition of wine is combined with the heritage of historic villas, to the Soave area, Lake Garda, with its unforgettable landscapes and characteristic villages
