Founded by the Romans in the first century BCE, Verona flourished at the crossroads of northern trade routes. The Scaligeri lords fortified the city in the Middle Ages, leaving crenellated bridges, towering walls, and palaces that still outline today’s lanes. Renaissance merchants and poets added elegance and learning, and later centuries turned Verona’s houses, chapels, and courts into a living stage for stories of honor and love. This layered past makes the city an unforgettable backdrop for the world’s most famous romance.
