VERONA B

uilt on the river bend of the Adige in Roman times, Verona is a city full of charm, not only for its monuments, notably its Arena - the worldwide famous 1st century amphitheatre, venue of concerts and operas every year, but also for its many medieval buildings.

Bridges over the river, embracing the city lying on rolling green hills, winding among churches rich in artworks that make it resemble a Minor Hierusalem. Verona is known throughout the world above all as “the city of love” for its role as the home town of Romeo and Juliet, the two unfortunate lovers in Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy. Very popular is the 16th century Juliet’s house, with its balcony overlooking a courtyard, where lovers take photos under the statue of the beloved Shakespearean character. The city offers also excellent food in top quality restaurants as well as in typical trattorias with simple and traditional cuisine or refined slow food. A taste of the local wines, famous and exported all over the world, and winners of important awards is a must: Amarone, Ripasso, Recioto, Valpolicella Superiore, as well as white wines.

The tower has undergone numerous modifications in the course of its 8 centuries of history. This is Verona’s highest building, offering wonderful views of the city. Open to the public.

PIEVE ROMANICA IN SAN GIORGIO

TEMPLE OF MINERVA, Marano di Valpolicella

VALPOLICELLA N

orth of Verona and west of Lake Garda lays Valpolicella, a hilly strip of land resembling a range of valleys, dominated by vineyards, cherry and olive trees. Thanks to the climate and geological nature the wines produced here are unique and typical to the area.

The cultivation of Veronese pergola vineyards is guided by the experience of winemakers who rely on traditional techniques with a view to innovation. The five municipalities of the classic area Negrar, Fumane, Marano, San Pietro in Cariano and Sant’Ambrogio belong to Valpolicella, as well as Parona, Pescantina, Sant’Anna d’Alfaedo. But the excellence of Valpolicella is not only wine, which is exported all over the world, such as Amarone, Recioto, Ripasso, Valpolicella Superiore. There is also marble, especially in the municipality of Sant ‘Ambrogio, where there are several exporting companies. The town of Valpolicella has been the centre of intense extraction of precious marble since ancient times. From here, in fact, come the stones used to build the palaces of Verona and the Arena itself, and a couple of centuries ago many stonemasons left to reach America and teach the art of sculpting.

LAKE GARDA Lake Garda, with its mild climate and perfect water temperature, seems but a patch of sea set between the Alps and northern Italy’s Pianura Padana (i.e. the Po River Plain). Garda – which touches the three Italian Regions of Lombardy, Trentino Alto Adige and Veneto – is even surrounded by palms oleander, olive trees and vines, in addition to the picturesque villages, beaches and little ports, parks and nature reserves it is known for.

Lake Garda is ideal for a tailor-made vacation, whether for nature lovers, athletes, or history and culture buffs.

Finally, take this occasion to see Sirmione, thermal spa locale comprising a very characteristic historic center, the Grotte di Catullo archaeological site and the 13th-Century Scaliger Castle.

SEE

DO

Architecture, history and art aficionados cannot help but appreciate the numerous borghi, castles, monasteries, monuments and museums lining the lake’s shores.

History lovers especially can marvel at the evidence of prehistoric settlements in the Valtenesi and on Monte Baldo, or the remains of Roman villas in Desenzano and Toscolano.

Equally-charming are the Medieval castles and Scaliger fortresses, from which the Benaco and Sirmione Towers rise up to dominate the scene.

Sacred art comes to full fruition in the Romanesque Abbey Churches of Maderno, Sirmione and Bardolino, and in the neoclassical Parocchial Churches of Bardolino and Cassone.

Then, the Sanctuaries of the Madonna del Frassino, Madonna di Montecastello and Madonna della Corona make for important pilgrimage destinations.

Among the countless palazzi boasting gorgeous gardens with a view, the majestic Vittoriale, former residence of writer Gabriele d’Annunzio, can be found in Gardone Riviera, a gem of a town whose architecture was developed in the Art Nouveau. The André Heller Botanical Garden is also here, with its more than 2,000 plant varieties.

Just about every sport can be taken up, both on and near the Lake, think of swimming and sailing, mountain-climbing and biking, hiking and horseback riding, rafting and hang-gliding.

On its southwestern coast, from Sirmione to Limone, the ports of Bogliaco, Campione and Limone are favorites in the sailing and surfing set.

The Trentino coast, on the north shore – where the communities of Riva del Garda and Nago-Torbole are located – is also highly sought-after by windsurfers.

And the “Olive Riviera”, the zone running from Malcesine to Peschiera, in the Province of Verona, is approximately 50 km of well-outfitted beaches and sports hubs, for those preferring fun and summer activity. (This is also where travelers can find the amusement park, Gardaland.)

If relaxation is more your speed, plenty of hot springs spas abound between Sirmione and Lazise, along with other resorts and golf courses. (fonte: www.italia.it)

VALDADIGE V

alle dell’Adige or Valdadige is the stretch of the valley covered by the Adige river, which runs from Rovereto to Merano. It is a long and narrow valley between the river, the railway, the A22 motorway and the Abetone and Brennero state road 12. The area is completely covered with vineyards, including autochthonous ones, where excellent wines are produced such as Enantio, Foja Tonda, Pinot Grigio, Bianco, Chardonnay and Schiava. During the war the valley was guarded by forts built by the Austrians and by the Italians to control enemy movements. Many medieval castles also dominate the valley and some are in excellent condition and can be visited. The consortium of wineries is called Terra dei Forti, which promotes also other PDO products. It comprises four municipalities - three in the Verona area, Dolcè, Brentino Belluno and Rivoli, and one in Trentino, Avio. Climbing paths have been created on the rocks that overlook the Adige, real rock gyms, with breath-taking views.

The most important cities of the Valdadige are Ala, Rovereto and above all Trento, the capital of the autonomous province, a city rich in history, art and culture, as well as tourism, architecture, nature and museums.

Where to Eat

Top Restaurants F

rom the chesses of Lessinia to the fish of Lake Garda, the rice of the Lower Veronese area and the dishes of Valpolicella, the cuisine of Verona and its province is extremely appetizing and varied. The cuisine is generally of a traditional, poor and peasant origin, such as polenta, which pairs well with cured meats, including garlic-seasoned or natural soppressa, cheeses such as denomination of protected origin Monte Veronese of varying maturities, fish such as pike or herring, stews with horse meat, such as the famous pastissada, or with beef, and, lest we forget, the queen of sauces, pearà, which accompanies boiled meat, and is typically eaten on Sundays. The marrow, broth, breadcrumb and grated cheese based sauce, which takes its name from an abundant grinding of pepper, must be cooked for several hours, and is the ideal accompaniment for the chicken, tongue and beef stew called lesso misto. Then, in broth, there is the unmissable tajadele coi fegadini, or tagliatelle pasta with chicken livers. Veronese cuisine is, indeed, extremely rich in pasta and rice dishes, ranging from pasta e fasoi, or pasta with beans, and bigoli con le sarde, long tube-shape pasta with sardines, to various local risotto dishes, especially from the Lower Veronese area, in the vicinity of Isola ​​ della Scala, which organizes the Fiera del Riso, or Rice Fair, attended by thousands of people every year. Here, the medium-grain vialone nano rice variety is produced, and used to

make riso alla pilota, named after the traditional job of rice-husker, or ‘pilota’, the local speciality riso all’isolana, and riso con tastasal, a local type of sausage meat, with minimal differences between recipes consisting of whether or not rosemary is added to give more flavour to the pork, and so on. Deserving of a chapter to itself is the alpine gnocchi di malga recipe, known in the local dialect as gnochi sbatùi, and made without potatoes, but just flour and water seasoned with abundant amounts of excellent mountain butter and cheese. Other delicious risotto and pasta dishes are made with the famous red Verona radicchio, with the king of wines Amarone, produced in Valpolicella, with the long tube-shaped pasta called bigoli, which is rough-textured to better hold sauce, with duck, with donkey meat, and with peas, known in the local dialect as bisi. The traditional granny recipes are served by the most elegant restaurants, right next to more refined European and Italian dishes. If we consider desserts, we cannot forget to mention pandoro, the typical sweet bread eaten during the Christmas holidays and famous throughout the world, or the more rustic varieties nadalin and fogassa, the fried doughnuts fritole and the Easter speciality brassadele. Finally, there are some truly excellent wine pairings: Amarone, with braised meats, stews and red meat, Valpolicella Superiore and Ripassi for lighter dishes, and the more meditative dessert wine Recioto.

Fashion Stores

I

f you are a fashion addict, Verona is the city for you.

For great shopping and exclusive boutiques, there is no need to go all the way to Milan: half a day in Verona downtown is definitely be enough to be satisfied.

Let’s start with the shopping street par excellence, via Mazzini: a district favored by Italian as well as international brands and therefore the most frequented, even by those who chase low-cost fashion. This is the place chosen by haute couture brands: Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., to name a few. If you won’t have many occasions to be in the city, a stop by Duca d’Aosta is not to be missed. The shop is famous in Verona as synonym of quality and elegance since 1960 and showcases the most exclusive fashion, the IT bags of the moment and the iconic accessories of the season.

Shopping CLOTHING AL DUCA D’AOSTA Via Giuseppe Mazzini, 31, Verona

As for shoes, the best thing is to move to the street that was, in Roman times, the Decumanus Maximus: Corso Porta Borsari and Via Santa Anastasia. Here you can choose between Maestria Calzature, which features handcrafted products - small masterpieces to put on your feet - and Principe, another historic brand born in 1936 that today reaches its third generation. If you love luxury accessories, Pavin Luxury Goods in via Cappello is a must: here, highly professional staff will offer you a personalized journey into the world of fashion.

ATELIER EMÉ Piazza Francesco Viviani, 8, Verona

Finally, to conclude the “fashion quadrilateral” on the banks of Adige, don’t forget via Oberdan, a stone’s throw from the Arena: here, between a shop window to the other, you can restore yourself by tasting an excellent bottle of wine at Vivavino Wine Shop.

Real Estate proposals

In Torri del Benaco The project is located on a spectacular site of approximately 6000 square metres with luxuriant vegetation and views westwards towards the lake, facing the setting sun. The challenge was to build with the greatest possible subtlety in order to respect the site and also the restrictions on land use. The decision was made to use a dark-coloured material for the facade so that the building would blend with its natural surroundings. The residential complex includes ten apartments and two villas with pools, arranged on two levels which follow the shape of the land. The architectural concept is lightness, camouflage, transparency. All the apartments have a completely unobstructed view of the lake; sliding windows and doors are framed in dark stone with rounded corners: a light touch to keep the impact on the landscape minimal and blend in with the surrounding trees. The complex consists of scattered bespoke volumes which are perfectly integrated with the garden, like streamlined pavilions resting on the ground.
