"Roman" Verona... Connoisseurs of ancient history are dedicated

To see the majestic monuments of the Roman period, you do not need to go to Rome.

Did you know that Verona is the northern Rome?

Of the northern cities of Italy, Verona has the largest number of Roman monuments built 2,000 years ago! They “feel great” to this day and the people of Verona continue to use them: on a stone bridge we cross the Adige River, through the monumental gates we continue to enter the ancient part of the city, in the theater and amphitheater in the summer there are performances, thanks to which Verona became the world capital of lyrics, ancient roads, sewers, Arches, luxury villas, mosaics.

Verona is two thousand years old and no wrinkles.

I invite you to take a trip back in time that will take you to the distant, distant past 2000 years ago in Roman Verona. That era has not sunk into the past in fact, we owe a lot to it, leaving not only magnificent monuments and monuments. Our way of life is an extension of the Roman, we would not be ourselves without the Roman era. I want to tell you the secret of this period, which existed in the west for more than a thousand years, and in the east for almost 2 thousand years! No legion, no political or ideological system could ensure such longevity. Covered by the “invisible hat”, we will be transported to the most beautiful, most marble of cities, to the “northern gate” of Italy, and take a walk among the majestic monuments that will serve us as a beautiful “decoration”. The monuments themselves are silent, but if we focus on the details I have indicated, suddenly these monuments will come to life, filled with the beat of life and you will “see” ancient Verona, and the vanished world will appear before you.

My time travel is a story of the great history of a city through many small stories. A story about everyday life, answering the simplest questions: What did the Veronians see walking the streets 2,000 years ago? What language would we hear on the streets? How did magnificent amphitheatres and theaters build without cranes? How do you build bridges across rivers? How did they heat their homes without gas or light? How did men and women dress? How was justice administered? Was there health insurance? What gods were worshipped? How did the "corporate" holidays - feasts - go? What were the performances in theaters and amphitheaters? How did you get married? Let’s talk about beauty secrets and even sex.

Life of that period is much more like the modern one than you might think. The Veronians already faced the same problems as we did at that time: the high cost of housing, traffic jams, the influx of immigrants and the need to “grease” city officials.

You will visit:

The most ancient amphitheatre in northern Italy! 30 years A.D., "older" from the Colosseum by 50 years, accommodating 30,000 people. Despite the “advanced” age, Veronza put in it six months of performances – this is the world’s largest open-air opera stage, and Verona is the capital of lyrics!

The most ancient theater in northern Italy 1st century BC. It is still in use today in the summer. It hosts "Shakespeare" performances: jazz music, pop music, perform the best dance groups.

The most ancient bridge in northern Italy, 1st century B.C. Let's walk on it, where you still walk on the bridge, 2000 years ago!

The forum, which was the center of public life. It was here that the oldest and most important sanctuaries and temples, the Capitol, were located.

- pass along the ancient roads of 2000 years ago, on which the ancient Veronians rushed to the market, to the baths, to the hearing. A unique example of a marble road in northern Italy!

Pass under the arch of Gavi of the 1st century AD, as did the emperors, returning triumphantly after another victory in the north.

Pass through the Borsari gates of the 1st century AD, as the Veronians did in ancient times, to enter the city

You will see the sewerage of the 1st century AD, which the Veronians used in the 19th century.

Touch the walls that so majestically protected the city from barbarian tribes, built in just 7 months, preserved after 17 centuries.

- Villas, mosaics. And much more.

The richest collection of unique material collected by me during the years of work and study, the study of ancient literature, the results of research and archaeological discoveries, the memories of the inhabitants of the city, documents and legends, all this multiplied by my love for history and this city - will reveal to you the soul of Verona.

For whom is this route:

- For connoisseurs of ancient history, who for the first time or has already been and wants to get acquainted with the city in depth

- For those who want to see not just ruins, but to touch history.

Let’s go to the Roman Verona...
