Verona in Love

Verona is one of the most romantic cities in Italy.

It all started with William Shakespeare, that decided to set his famous Tragedy Romeo and Juliet in Verona.

Juliet’s balcony is one of the most visited sites in Verona, and you can also visit Juliet’s tomb and Romeo’s house.

That is why on days around Valentine’s Day the city organizes a mini festival with various events.

This year, 2022, the festival takes place from the 11th to the 14th of February.

The town is all dressed up with love decorations, the most interesting probably being the big heart in Piazza dei Signori (also known as Piazza Dante), that can best be seen from the Lamberti Tower.
