Verona
It is the Adige that draws Verona. It envelops her, models her, reflects her in its depths, like an artist with his own work. Admire it from Castel San Pietro: the city lies in the bend of the river as if born from its own whim, with Ponte Pietra, Ponte della Vittoria and many others stitching it together, almost in pursuit of its rhythm. Water has brought trade, wealth and stories. Perhaps this is why everything flows here, transforming without ever losing its true soul.
All you have to do is set foot in the historic centre to feel history vibrate under the cobblestones. Piazza delle Erbe has seen centuries of merchants, noble ladies and warlords, and continues to be the beating heart of the city; the frescoed facades reflect the shadows of the market while the clinking of glasses in historic cafes mingles with the voices of the people. Pass under the battlements of Castelvecchio, feel the solid strength of the Scaliger bridge and imagine the medieval defensive troops that crossed it. Then enter the streets that distance you from the river until you reach Piazza Bra, where, ancient and solemn, the Arena preserves the deep beat of the city, made up of art, music, scenery and applause.
Just outside the city, history continues to intertwine with beauty: castles, medieval villages, frescoed villas and ancient walls draw a landscape that changes with every curve. Whether it's an escape to the hills, a walk along the river or a day of art, there is always something here that is worth discovering.
A few kilometres from the city, the hills of Valpolicella are tinged with green, gold and purple. Here beauty is a pleasure that can be enjoyed with all the senses: in the glasses filled with Amarone, in the scents of tradition, and in the views that open up between the rows of trees.
In every season, these hills have something to offer. In summer you can walk along paths through the vineyards and discover hidden ancient parishes; in autumn the foliage offers unprecedented scenery; in winter the cellars welcome you with the warmth of wines; and in spring the flowers bloom in the gardens of the villas and at the foot of the waterfalls.
And as soon as the hills rise to 800 metres above sea level, the Lessinia plateau appears. In this Regional Park, nature is magnificent: woods, pastures, valleys carved out by water, thousand-year-old caves. In summer, it acts as the perfect companion together with a cool breeze along the trails, in winter it is the realm of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. And all year round, among mountain huts and shelters, the local cuisine makes a strong impression.
Round off your trip at Lake Garda with its irresistible appeal. This shore with its lakeside villages, castles overlooking the water, small harbours and scenic paths, is able to change emotions from season to season. With sports, relaxation and culture, you will find the right rhythm to make the most of your trip.
Moving south, the Plain of the Doges opens up, a land of rice fields and historic residences where tradition meets rural elegance. This is where Nano Vialone Veronese PGI rice comes from: the "white gold" that tells a story of peasant culture and the authentic taste of this territory. With its manor houses, cycle paths, genuine flavours and popular festivals, this area invites you to slow down, to explore and experience authentic tourism consisting of real experiences and sincere hospitality.
Among its gentle rolling hills, the territory of Est Veronese preserves a vast heritage of authentic experiences. From the walls of the town of Soave, this destination unfolds among cultivated valleys, hills dotted with vineyards, towns that preserve ancient traditions, churches, castles, trails, and excellent products like Soave DOC. A mosaic of landscapes that immortalises the deep connection between man, nature, and history.
