Verona

Located at the meeting point of the Adige River and major historical trade routes, Verona extends across both riverbanks with medieval walls surrounding its center.

Founded in 550 BC and transformed into a Roman colony in 89 BC, Verona developed into a critical strategic point connecting northern Europe with Mediterranean routes.

The Arena of Verona, constructed in the first century, remains an active venue hosting opera performances, concerts, and theatrical productions throughout the year.

The central train station provides direct connections to Milan, Venice, and Munich, while local buses reach every district of the metropolitan area.

The city received two national military honors: the Gold Medal for Civil Valor and the Gold Medal of Military Valor for its resistance during World War II.
