Verona
Verona is a proud medieval town replete with handsome fountains, pleasant terraces, and striking towers. The tragic romance of Romeo and Juliet is said to have unfolded here, and visitors can muse and dream under the balcony of Juliet’s Gothic house – or reflect on the accomplishments of the brothers of the religious order of St. Jerome, whose former monastery is now the home of a first-century theater and archeological museum. Verona is a multifaceted and inspiring place with an intricate story; and, whether in a centuries-old, evocatively shaded palazzo with its austere private gardens or in a spectacular symphonic hall, the vocal and instrumental performances taking place in Verona provide classical music lovers with lovely and unique listening experiences that remain in the memory long after the last notes have sounded.
