Verona

Verona is one of my favorite cities in the world. It is about a 45 minute drive from Castelnuovo, where we live in Italy, and it was just completely stunning. This is part of the city wall the surrounds the old city.
The Arena.
This is just part of the center of Verona. It was very colorful and beautiful. This is Piazza Erve in Verona. One of my favorite places on earth. It was so beautiful. I know I keep saying that, but I don't have the right adjectives. It had such a feeling of old Italy, that you could really feel how people lived hundreds of years ago, but it's not a museum. It is completely inhabited even today, so it feels very lived in, and that makes it more alive. I really couldn't get over the details. There was so much detail work put into every little thing, and it didn't go unnoticed. Again, I was so impressed with the detail, and the murals on this building are an example of that. We stumbled upon a Greek festival that was happening in the center of Verona. There was a group who did a Greek dance, and we were most impressed with the musicians. After the dance we walked around to a back alley and found a less maintained area. This well was just in the middle of the street.
Juliet's house. Shakespeare's story of Romeo and Juliet was actually based on two feuding families in Verona. The house that is accredited to being Juliet's house belonged to the Cappello family in the 1200s and has a charming little balcony coming off of the second story bedroom over a courtyard.
