Abstract \n<\/span><\/strong>A tour on the footprints of the Della Scala Lords unveiling the glorious moments and the obscure events in the lives of the most popular lords: Mastino, Alberto, Cangrande and Cansignorio. You meet them in the places where they lived and acted: Castelvecchio, Corte Sgarzerie, Palazzi Scaligeri, Piazza Signori and Piazza Erbe , Santa Anastasia and were they are buried: the phantasmagoric <\/span>Arche Scaligere<\/i><\/span>. You encounter also the Ladies of the Family: Verde, Taddea, Beatrice in their refined courtly society, among musicians, poets and artists. In the Autumn of Middle Ages Verona was the capital of a state, that proved to be splendid, but ephemeral. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"Verona<\/figure>\n\n

Perch\u00e9 Verona \u00e8 detta la citt\u00e0 scaligera?<\/h2>\n\n

The <\/span>Scaligeri<\/i><\/span>, as we call them in Italian, have been compared in some respects to the Medici family however, while the Medici ruled by exposing themselves as little as possible, the <\/span>Scaligeri <\/i><\/span>adopted the opposite strategy and exposed themselves as much as possible to emphasize their social position and power. \nTheir political project for Verona was at the forefront in the Italian context of the fourteenth century, but the adventure of the Della Scala, even if glorious, was complicated: five generations of Lords, among which the most important was Cangrande, had to juggle ancient feuds, personal ambitions, politics, plots, dark events inside the strongholds and <\/span>Palazz<\/i><\/span>i and they built, surrounded by the artists they protected. \nDuring this tour you discover this family<\/span> chiaroscuro<\/i><\/span> and enter the mindset of the Lords trying to understand the reasons of their decisions, of their political and family dynamics that are sometimes incomprehensible and ferocious to us. \nThe Della Scala family contributed to shaping the Veronese identity and left us an extraordinary monument: their tombs!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

\"Particolare<\/figure>\n\n

Dove si trovano le Arche Scaligere a Verona?<\/h2>\n\n

I rimandi della Verona al tempo degli Scaligeri <\/strong>si riflettono in un monumento straordinario: il complesso funerario delle Arche Scaligere.<\/strong><\/p>

Una volta consolidato il dominio sulla citt\u00e0, gli Scaligeri edificarono diversi palazzi a servizio della corte e della stessa famiglia, che si affiancano al palazzo in Piazza dei Signori, che rappresentava la loro residenza \u2018ufficiale\u2019.<\/p>

Il cimitero della famiglia era, al tempo, il cortile della piccola chiesa di Santa Maria Antica, che ospitava i sarcofagi dei primi signori come Mastino, Alberto e Bartolomeo.<\/p>\n\n

\"Arche<\/figure>\n\n

Ma con l\u2019ascesa di Cangrande<\/strong>, il cimitero di famiglia divenne lo straordinario monumento di architettura gotica che oggi incanta chi visita la citt\u00e0, le Arche Scaligere.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Si tratta di un vero e proprio mausoleo<\/strong>, che il signore protettore della citt\u00e0 volle edificare per tramandare un adeguato ricordo della sua attivit\u00e0 politica e militare.<\/p>

Le Arche Scaligere contengono tre mausolei che si ergono tra i palazzi della famiglia, dove \u00e8 presente l\u2019arca di Cangrande<\/strong>, collocata nella strategica posizione all\u2019interno delle mura di Santa Maria Antica, cos\u00ec che le persone che entravano in citt\u00e0 potessero rendergli omaggio.<\/p>\n\n
